PDLI is a measure of constancy over trials of the difference in phase angle between two channels, as a function of frequency and of time relative to the start of the stimulus for each trial. The range of PDLI is from zero to 1.0, with high values at a time and frequency indicating little variation, among trials, of phase angle difference between channels of the pair, at that time and frequency. PDLI is defined for frequency f at time t as:
