[FieldTrip] MNE tutorial

[Robin]

By running from MNE suite:
mne_setup_mri --subject BON02 --mri T1

to create a COR.fif image from the Freesurfer output (including Talaraich
transformation) at least that COR.fir and the oct-6-src.fif mesh seem to
line up.

But now I am not sure which coordinate system they are in? (cordsys is
'neuromag' in fieldtrip) nor how to obtain the necessary inverse transform
from this space to the raw anatomy voxel space (so I can build the
transform from oct-6-src mesh to sensor space; I already have the transform
to take the original raw anatomy .img to the sensor coordinate system).

Thanks,

Robin
