I’m believe I have all the necessary fields for it to pass as time lock data (time, dimord, and label), so I’m not sure why it is not working. I have tried preselecting only the correct 306 labels and using those in the structure but this does not help either.
I can try the ft_plot_topo method, but since I had some other questions I thought I’d see if you could help me with the higher level function. My other questions are simply, in the neuromag layout files, are the first two columns X and Y coordinates respectively?
And secondly, I understand that plotting magnetometers and gradiometers together is not such a good idea because of the difference in their scales, but why do you say that using only gradiometers will not result in a nice topography? Does that mean my only
option is to plot magnetometers alone? Also, thanks for the reference to that paper, indeed I was using the forward mixing weights after having read that very paper! </div>

Dear Benjy,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It looks as if you are almost there.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">That is, I don’t know what your data structure looks like, but if you create it sufficiently lean, and internally consistent, it should work.</div>
<div class="">Something like:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">data = [];</div>
<div class="">data.weights = weights;</div>
<div class="">data.label = <list-of-labels>;</div>
<div class="">data.time = 0; % just give it a value</div>
<div class="">data.dimord = ‘chan_time’;</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Alternatively, you can use the lower-level function ft_plot_topo (it’s in fieldtrip/plotting): this function requires also ‘low-level’ input arguments, i.e. two vectors of x and y coordinates of the sensor positions, the vector with the to-be-plotted
values, and some additional options for aesthetics. I think the help documentation of this function explains it well enough.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Two points of caution: </div>
<div class="">1) with the 306 mixed gradiometer/magnetometer system it probably does not make sense to visualize a topogrophy of the gradiometers and magnetometers mixed, and also, using the gradiometers only it probably will probably not result in a nice topography. </div>
<div class="">2) it could be that it is more informative to look at the ‘forward mixing weights’, rather than the unmixing weights that drop out of your classifier.

Hi!
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am trying to plot the topography of my LDA weights, but am having some trouble. I am using my own script to calculate the weights rather than any packages (e.g. DMLT, or MVPA-light), so the tutorials on the fieldtrip site haven’t been able to
help me. So far, I’ve simply tried adding the weights (a 306x1 length vector) as a field to my data structure. And trying this code:</div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">figure; ft_topoplotER(cfg,data); colorbar</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 12px;" class="">

Unsurprisingly, this doesn’t work. It results in the error 'field “weights" not present in data’. I assume because the weights field is not interpretable by the fieldtrip code. I guessed the lack of a dimord field for the weights might be underlying its lack
of interpretability, but playing around with that has not worked either. I’ve tried adding a ‘weightsdimord’ field with the [306x1] dimensions, but this also - unsurprisingly - didn’t work.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class="">
Is there a way around this? Will I need to use lower level functions than ft_topoplotER? If so, can anyone advise on how I might implement this?</div>
