[FieldTrip] BrainProducts Easycap layout

["Jörn M. Horschig"]

Hi Hweeling,

have you checked FieldTrip/template/layout? There are a bunch of easycap 
layout already available. Otherwise, you can easily transform your 
coordinates to the x/y/z plane, you just need to estimate the size of 
the head. This is what is happening inside ft_read_sens:

       % it contains theta and phi
       sens.label   = cellfun(@str2double, tmp{1}(2:end));
       theta = cellfun(@str2double, tmp{2}(2:end));
       phi   = cellfun(@str2double, tmp{3}(2:end));
       radians = @(x) pi*x/180;
       warning('assuming a head radius of 85 mm');
       x = 85*cos(radians(phi)).*sin(radians(theta));
       y = 85*sin(radians(theta)).*sin(radians(phi));
       z = 85*cos(radians(theta));
       sens.unit = 'cm';
       sens.elecpos = [x y z];
       sens.chanpos = [x y z];

Then you can project to a 2D plane, there are a number of methods 
available in Matlab for that.

Best,
Jörn
