[FieldTrip] headmodels

["Jörn M. Horschig"]

Dear Allison,

I was encountering similar issues the last two days and hope to have 
fixed some unit conversion bugs. Thus it might be that with the newest 
FT version, you don't need to manually convert the units anymore as JM 
suggested. Could you give it a try for me and see whether it works 
without JMs manual approach in the newest FT version?

Best,
Jörn
