Compute seed-based time-frequency connectivity in sensor space

Computes the connectivity between a seed-gradiometer close to the visual cortex and all other gradiometers. The connectivity is computed in the time-frequency domain using Morlet wavelets and the debiased squared weighted phase lag index 1 is used as connectivity metric.
