Hi Ingmar,

I indeed think that the problem is not related to the leadfields
themselves. I suspect the problem to be due to either the inside/
outside detection (which is done in private/prepare_dipole_grid and
which depends on cfg.inwardshift) or that the problem is related to
some confusion somewhere in the code about the units (cm v.s. mm).

I suggest that you investigate the problem in more detail by
visualising the source reconstruction without sourceinterpolate. I.e.
after sourceanalysis you get a
   source.dim
   source.avg.pow
and you should be able to do
   vol = reshape(source.avg.pow, source.dim);
That gives you a 3D array which you can immediately plot slice-by-
slice, e.g. using
   figure; imagesc(squeeze(vol(:,:,10)));
or by using the matlab montage function if I recall correctly.

What you also can do is explicitely look at the voxels that were
considered in the source reconstruction, by
   vol = zeros(source.dim); % make 3d array
   vol(source.inside)  = 1;
   vol(source.outside) = 0;
and then again use imagesc to look at the slices in the volume.

best regards,
Robert

PS please check that your problem is not merely due to colorbar
scaling and a large depth bias as explained on http://www2.ru.nl/
fcdonders/fieldtrip/doku.php?

downward. See figure http://www2.ru.nl/fcdonders/fieldtrip/lib/exe/

in a different colorbar and opacity scaling, which would also result
in a different "amount" of source reconstruction getting visible on
top of the MRI.
