        Parameters
        ----------

        input : TimeSeries object
           Containing the data to analyze.

        method : dict, optional,
            This is the method used for spectral analysis of the signal for the
            coherence caclulation. See :func:`algorithms.get_spectra`
            documentation for details.

        unwrap_phases : bool, optional
           Whether to unwrap the phases. This should be True if you assume that
           the time-delay is the same for all the frequency bands. See
