I ran into some confusion when looking at LCMV beamformed data, using the function, "ft_sourceanalysis". We are using a single shell forward model in these analyses. When looking at the output struct from this function, the lead fields were on the scale of
1e-10 T, which seems much too large for MEG fields. Looking into FieldTrip archives, I found a similar question by Marc Lalencette from 2014 (<a href="https://mailman.science.ru.nl/pipermail/fieldtrip/2014-September/008438.html" data-auth="NotApplicable" id="LPlnk894919">https://mailman.science.ru.nl/pipermail/fieldtrip/2014-September/008438.html</a>)
where it looks like the issue stems from the fact that fields are computed with respect to 'cm'. </div>

I applied a conversion factor, by multiplying all data by 1e-4, to get from 'cm^2' to 'm^2'. I applied this conversion factor in the function "ft_compute_leadfield" in Line 260: </div>

turn yielded lead fields on the scale of 1e-10 once again. In this case, the scaling factor is 1. </span></div>
