Compute power and phase lock in label of the source space

Compute time-frequency maps of power and phase lock in the source space. The inverse method is linear based on dSPM inverse operator.

The example also shows the difference in the time-frequency maps when they are computed with and without subtracting the evoked response from each epoch. The former results in induced activity only while the latter also includes evoked (stimulus-locked) activity.

In the example above, we averaged power across vertices after calculating power because we provided a single label for power calculation and therefore power of all sources within the single label were returned separately. When we provide a list of labels, power is averaged across sources within each label automatically. With a list of labels, averaging is performed before rescaling, so choose a baseline method appropriately.
