I don't know the answer to your question, but I would like to note
that CTF274.lay is based on the NIMH system which has one dead SQUID,
namely MRF43.  You might want to generate a CTF275.lay with that
channel replaced.  The meginterpolate code can actually "fix" dead
channels anyway...

Oh, as long as I'm here:

Personally I wouldn't bother averaging across subjects, because even
"aligned", averaging subjects together in sensor space is nearly
meaningless.  (Though an interesting project, by analogy to Talairach
or MNI space, is to "warp" the sensor space data into a common space,
based on "anatomical" landmarks such as the peaks of the AEF and/or
SEF.  I still wouldn't do that, though.)
