<div><br></div><div>I wonder if you can help me out. I have a relatively simple problem: having a topography matrix (where rows correspond to topographies, and columns correspond to channels) I want to fit a dipole to each topography. I have looked through tutorials and documentation and I've seen this example <a href="http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/example/compute_forward_simulated_data_and_apply_a_dipole_fit">http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/example/compute_forward_simulated_data_and_apply_a_dipole_fit</a>. Still, I can't figure out how I should use the toolbox to solve my problem.</div><div><br></div><div>What would be the right arguments to call ft_dipolefitting with in my case? If I have EEG data, topography matrix and channel locations, what would be the easiest way to fit a dipole to each topography?</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you in advance for any help.</div><div><br></div><div>Ksenia Volkova</div></div>
