[FieldTrip] 4d data reading (248 sensor MEG system)

[jan-mathijs schoffelen]

Hi Mehmet,

Please have a look at http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/getting_started/bti.

I would not recommend the .xyz/.m4d variant, but would directly read  
from the raw data files. Support for .xyz/.m4d files (these files  
contain relevant header information) is implemented in fieldtrip just  
for backward compatibility. These need to be created from the raw data  
(using the pdf2set command (see the software manual of the MEG-system  
for reference)), but contain only limited header information (e.g. the  
balancing coefficients are not extracted). To me this sounds like  
double work, because FieldTrip can read the header information from  
the raw files directly.

Good luck,

Jan-Mathijs
