Yes. This will call TIMES with two inputs, the first one from a(:, :, 1) and
the second the corresponding element of a(:, :, 3).
>>> a{1,1,2}

This will call TIMES repeatedly with _one_ input. Each input will be one of
the cells from a(:, :, [1 3]). But TIMES requires exactly two inputs.
I'm not entirely certain what you mean by "multiplying more than 2 planes in
the 3rd dimension." Do you mean you want to compute a.*b.*c where a, b, and
c are all the contents of cells from a(:, :, [1 3])?

For the a variable you defined above, what would you expect:
q = cellfun(@times,a(:,:,[1 3]),'Uni',0)
to return? Knowing what you want may help us figure out how to get you
there.
