Hi Yiyao,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Is there a specific reason why you expect the potential to go up with increasing conductivity values?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I think there’s some confusion with respect to your expections versus reality. Also, it’s not specific to openmeeg as a method, if you’d use an analytic (concentric) sphere model you would probably observe the same thing.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">With respect to units I’d recommend to stick to S.I. units throughout. FieldTrip has quite some checks and balances in order to try to match the units of different objects that are needed for the computations (e.g. meshes, sensor positions etc.),
but I am not sure whether there’s an explicit specification of a conductivity unit somewhere. Therefore, I suspect that the unit thereof is assumed to be S/(the internally used metric units, which can be mm/m/cm/km/lightyear). Perhaps it’s safest to explicitly
input everything in meters (this can be achieved typically with the ft_convert_units function).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Good luck,</div>

<span class="">I attempted to solve volumen conduction problem for another organ rather than brain using openmeeg method. The geometry was expressed in mm. As for conductivity, the leadfield value (magnitude order 10^-5) was about 1000 times higher than expected
when I introduced the tissue conductivity in siemen/metre. Then I thought that maybe I should express the conductivity in siemens/mm, and multiplied by 0.001 the tissue conductivity, curiosly the leadfield value increased 1000 times (magnitude order 10^-2).
Analogly, when I multiplied by 1000 the tissue conductivity, the leadfield decreased 1000 times (magnitude order 10^-8). This phenomenon is very strange because I expected to have higher surface potential for higher tissue conductivity. The last experiment
I did is that I set the tissue resistivity in ohmio.meter in tissue conductivity field, the leadfield value was in expected range.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
