Dear Jan-Mathijs,

Thank you again for your help, I appreciate it. I had forgotten to mention that I had used ft_volumerealign to align the mri before creating the volume conduction model using ft_preapre_singleshell. I then used the resulting vol in the ft_sourceanalyses, although I feel as though I am missing a step here which places the data in the same space as the MRI via the volume conduction model.

Thanks,
-Tony

Dear Tony,

It looks as if the coordinate system attached to your single subject's
mri is not according to 4D's convention (it rather looks as if it is
defined an mni space). The reason why I think this is that your x and
y axes seem to be swapped, and there is a slight shift in the z-
direction, suggesting a difference in origin. You can enforce the
correct coordinate system onto the MRI by using ft_volumerealign in
the interactive mode (and then specifying lpa, rpa and nasion by hand:
this should return an updated mri.transform, which describes the
transformation from voxel space to subject's headspace) . This should
of course be done before calling ft_sourceinterpolate.

Cheers,

Jan-Mathijs
