[FieldTrip] problem with surface Laplacian

[Max Cantor]

Why were you not able to repair them? Is it that they are neighbors, so
linear interpolation won't work? I can't speak to this too much as I
haven't tried it, but I've been looking into spline and if this is your
problem spline could work.

Otherwise I imagine you could manually edit / create a new elec or layout
file (in matlab or in a text editor), which wouldn't be a bad idea anyway.
I did this for our system as we could not find a premade one, but we use
equidistant caps so it was pretty straightforward. However, I don't know if
there would be any negative implications with removing the electrodes from
the layout/elec file(s) altogether.
