Significance level is the two-tailed probability that Coh (i.e. the square-root of Coh2, here treated as a correlation coefficient) does not differ significantly from zero, as compared against the Student's t distribution (critical values of Coh2, df = 6, are 0.50 for P < 0.05*, 0.70 for P < 0.01**, and 0.82 for P < 0.001***). Mean Coh2 and time lag (Inline graphic) data are shown for the mean frequencies (Inline graphic) over which their corresponding CSD is of relatively high strength. By convention, the CSD of two signals, A and B, i.e. CSD〈A,B〉, at a given frequency will have a positive value of δ if A leads B.
