Dear fieldtrip experts,
Im trying to do source localization for simulated EEG data, for this I followed the tutorial in page:
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/tutorial/minimumnormestimate
I was trying to use the mri image provided by fieldtrip (Subject01.mri) and EEG template (standard_1020.elc) in my work.
The mri image need to be re-aliened to the Talairach space for coregistration with EEG space. In the tutorial you use (ft_volumerealien) to do that using interactive method.
I have two questions:
First, how can I do the coregistration using fixed coordinates of the 3 fiducials (nasion, left pr, right pr), in other words how can I get the coordinates of the fiducials in both Talairach and EEG spaces to do the coregistration using the script only not manually.
Second, I tried to use the mri image provided by the spm toolbox because its already aliened to Talairach space, but when I try to do segmentation I get error that coordinates field does not exist:
??? Reference to non-existent field 'coordsys'.
Error in ==> ft_volumesegment at 284
original.coordsys = mri.coordsys;
Error in ==> segmentation_spm_mri at 24
seg = ft_volumesegment(cfg, mrirs);
I read the image using (ft_read_mri) function, I don't find the field specified for the coordinates:
disp(mri)
dim: [177 240 256]
anatomy: [177x240x256 double]
hdr: [1x1 struct]
transform: [4x4 double]
unit: 'mm'
How can I solve this problem so I can use the mri image in SPM for further analysing in fieldtrip?
Sorry for the long email I would be thankful for any help.
Regards
Rasha
