[FieldTrip] ft_headmodelplot coordinate system origin problem

Thank you for your help Jan. I tried all you told but i continue with my
problem. The coordinates for the head (volume) and mri are the same, with
the function ft_determine_coordsys i see this.
I think that the problem is about the sensor (helmet) origin of
coordinates. Please see the images i adjunt here,* the sensors origin is
very low*(nearly out of the helmet) and when ploting everything i suppose
that every origin align to each other, so that the brain comes a little bit
low.

Best whishes,

Ion
