Dear Gregor,

I think that is exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks a lot for your fast reply, this is really helpful :)
Actually, I already ran ft_sourceanalysis (using DICS) to identify  
regions of interest.
I will have a look at the LCMV beamformer postings you've recommended.

Best wishes,

Sibylle
