Correction: I made a mistake in my e-mail, I meant the spherical spline interpolation method, because that's the one Jorn said should work.

For the nearest neighbour interpolation, the function constructs a list of neuighbouring and constructs a weighted average. The function, however, wants to weigh each sensor according to its distance from the sensor to be reconstructed. That information can only be found in the grad structure, but in the grad structure there are only sensors which were recorded, thus the distance from a missing sensor cannot be measured because its position is missing in the grad structure. SSI should work though, cause it relies on a different rationale.
