Hi everyone,
I would like to find the correlation about two matrices the same dimensions. I have two matrices with 64 channles and I need to find the correlation between the first value of first matrix and the first, second, third.... until sixty-four value of second matrix and viceversa.
How can I do this?
Thanks a lot!

You could just manually do it yourself.
A=randi(100,10);B=randi(100,10);
M=mean(A);N=mean(B);
r=zeros(size(A,2),size(B,2));
for m=1:size(A,2)
for n=1:size(B,2)
r(m,n)=sum((A(:,m)-M(m)).*(B(:,n)-N(n)))/sqrt(sum((A(:,m)-M(m)).^2.*(B(:,n)-N(n)).^2));
end
end
r
r = 10×10

You can compute the pairwise correlation between columns of matrices as follows:
% Data matrics with 64 channels (columns)
A = rand(10,64);
B = rand(10,64);
% Vector of pairwise correlation values
C = corr(A,B); % All pairs of columns
C = diag(C) % Matching pairs of columns
C = 64×1
0.1045 0.2102 -0.1445 -0.0380 0.3045 -0.2592 0.2869 -0.5510 0.1050 0.0790

Your code seems unnecessarily complicated. If you already have the matrices L and R, the correlations variable need not be a cell array. Something like this should work:
% Data matrics with 64 channels (columns)
L = rand(100,64);
R = rand(100,64);
% Vector of pairwise correlation values
C = corr(L,R); % All pairs of columns
correlations = diag(C) % Matching pairs of columns
corerlations = 64×1
0.1035 -0.0462 -0.0224 -0.0031 -0.0396 -0.1127 0.0125 -0.0144 0.0199 -0.1041
The second loop that goes over the columns of L and R matrices is not needed since the corr() command already handles that for you, given the whole matrices. Unless of course if your L and R "matrices" have a more complicated structure, like being cell arrays, etc.
