forward modelling without anatomical info

dear jan mathijs,

i have been generating a single shell model from the segmented mri.
the localisation proceedure is for a tactile stimulus so when i see a
contralateral S1 response i have some reason to belive that the algorithm is
making some sense. I get the impression from your reply that there is no
easy way to get around this lack of anatomical data and that i may just have
to go and get the mri's done for this couple of subjects!

thanks for your thoughts on this,

tom.
