[FieldTrip] Electrode location structure

[Stolk, A.]

Dear Emma, FieldTrip is moving towards layouts that are based on an image  (for reference) and that are stored in a .mat file . For some examples, see: http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/template/layout The layout structure stored in those .mat files contains fields that describe the position (.pos), the width (.width), and the height (.height), and the naming (.label) of the electrodes. Furthermore, it contains fields that describe the topographic interpolation boundaries (.mask) and the outlines of the 'head' (.outline). Previous, and still supported, layout files (with a  .lay extension) typically contain a data matrix consisting of 5 columns. The first two columns describe the position of each electrode whereas the third, fourth, and fifth column describe the width, height, and label (i.e. number/name) for each electrode respectively. If you have a bitmap image, I'd recommend to create a layout variable and to store it in a .mat file. Try using  the following commands:   cfg.img = '*.bmp'  lay = ft_prepare_layout(cfg, []) Yours, Arjen ----- Oorspronkelijk bericht -----
