      <br>
      I would assume it is the pruning for the "Venant condition", i.e.,
      that all dipole positions are close to a vertex <br>
      whose neighbors are all in grey matter, because they get the
      monopolar weights that approximate best<br>
      the given dipolar moment. Check e.g. this one<br>

      @Johannes: Did you implement the "ft_inside_headmodel.m" and do
      you agree?<br>
      <br>
      We are now investigating a new FEM source model, the "localized
      subtraction approach"<br>

      where this "pruning" might be alliviated or not be needed at all,
      as long as the source is in GM.<br>
