[FieldTrip] Creation of MNI-aligned grids in individual gray matter?

[Christopher Day]

Hi,

I'm quite new to FieldTrip, and I've been following the tutorials and example code online to perform source reconstruction on EEG data.

I have had some success at creating MNI-aligned grids in individual head-space following this example:

http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/example/create_single-subject_grids_in_individual_head_space_that_are_all_aligned_in_mni_space

This is probably a stupid question, but why are some of the sources in the grid outside of the brain volume boundary in Figure 3 when the figure was plotted with the grid.inside positions?

This is the plotting code copied from the example page:

figure;
ft_plot_vol(vol, 'edgecolor', 'none'); alpha 0.4;
ft_plot_mesh(grid.pos(grid.inside,:));

I have also been trying to restrict my source analysis to gray matter using this FAQ: http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/faq/can_i_restrict_the_source_reconstruction_to_the_grey_matter

And this old conversation on the mailing list:

http://mailman.science.ru.nl/pipermail/fieldtrip/2012-March/004984.html

I was wondering whether it is possible to combine these two avenues I've been pursuing and restrict the source analysis to MNI-aligned grids in individual gray matter? If so, how do you do it? And if not, can you explain why not please?

Any help gratefully received.

Kind regards,
