I'm Ioanna and I'm a PhD student in Queen Mary University of London, doing EEG research on music learning and creativity <img title=":slight_smile:" class="gmail-m_6777393240820465445gmail-m_6210167879400043178emoji" alt=":slight_smile:" style="border: 0px none; vertical-align: middle; width: 20px; height: 20px; max-width: 690px; max-height: 500px;" src="https://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/images/emoji/google/slight_smile.png?v=6"></p>

<p style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px">
My question is on using Brainstorm and FieldTrip interchangeably to do beamforming on EEG data recorded by a 64-channel EGI system.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px">
I haven't found an option to compute the cross-spectral density matrix for the beamforming in Brainstorm. On the other hand, with Brainstorm I could quite easily create a head model for the 64-channel EGI system my data were recorded with.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px">
<br>
</p>
<p style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px">
Therefore, I was wondering if I could:</p>
<ol style="clear:both;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px">
<li>Calculate the cross-spectral density in Fieldtrip (ft_freqanalysis)</li><li>Create the head model in Brainstorm</li><li>Run the source analysis in Fieldtrip (ft_sourceanalysis) using the head model from Brainstorm</li></ol>
<p style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px">
Q1: How can I use the head model (as computed in Brainstorm) in FieldTrip to run the ft_sourceanalysis function? What is the format that the head model structure should have?</p>
<p style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px">
Q2: Does anyone have a FieldTrip head model for a 64-channel EGI system?</p>
<p style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px">
<br>
</p>
<p style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px">
Any help would be very much appreciated!</p>

Thanks so much in advance,<br>
