Hey Jorn,
Yes I am definitely confused haha, this stuff is way out of my league as a PhD student.
Anyway, I feel we are getting somewhere.
timelock =
avg: [121x19767 double]
var: [121x19767 double]
time: [1x19767 double]
dof: [121x19767 double]
label: {1x121 cell}
dimord: 'chan_time'
cov: [121x121 double]
elec: [1x1 struct]
cfg: [1x1 struct]
source =
time: [1x19767 double]
pos: [642x3 double]
inside: [642x1 double]
outside: []
method: 'average'
avg: [1x1 struct]
cfg: [1x1 struct]
sourceInt =
time: [1x19767 double]
avg: [1x1 struct]
pos: [16777216x3 double]
dim: [256 256 256]
inside: [1x16777216 double]
outside: [1x0 double]
coordsys: 'ctf'
unit: 'mm'
cfg: [1x1 struct]
Given what I said last time, I might not comment on the differences. I hope you can see something wrong.
One thing I should mention is that the data is continuous, around 30 seconds. Therefore there is only one trial,
is that an issue?

Hi Tyler,
there is not much inherently different between time- and
freuqency-domain beamformer, at least in terms of computing the forward
and the inverse solution. But I see that you are obviously confused, so
let me try to help you out and shed some light on what you are actually
doing ;)

No, that is actually how it should be. From below you can see that your
MRI has 3-dimensions, each with 256 elements, that is 256*256*256 =
16777216 elements. In line with source.avg.pow, you should see that your
'grid' consists of 642 elements, so you were computing your source
activity on a grid of in total 642 elements. Then you used the original
MRI to interpolate from 642 to these 16 million grid points. Actually,
since you specific cfg.downsample = 2, it should have been only 8
million points, so that's where things already get a bit weird.
So let's go into some sanity checks:
1. are you using the latest version (or a recent, i.e. from this year)
of FielTrip?
2. sourceInt should look something like this, does it?
source_diff_int =
inside: [46x55x46 logical]
avg: [1x1 struct]
dim: [46 55 46]
transform: [4x4 double]
anatomy: [46x55x46 double]
unit: 'mm'
cfg: [1x1 struct]
3. source should look something like this:
source =
dim: [20 25 22]
freq: 54.8287
cumtapcnt: [338x1 double]
pos: [11000x3 double]
inside: [1x5798 double]
outside: [1x5202 double]
method: 'average'
avg: [1x1 struct]
trialinfo: [338x1 double]
cfg: [1x1 struct]
4. also check your grid, should be something like this:
sourcemodel =
pos: [11000x3 double]
dim: [20 25 22]
unit: 'cm'
inside: [1x5798 double]
outside: [1x5202 double]
params: [1x1 struct]
initial: [4x4 double]
cfg: [1x1 struct]
Of course, it should all look a bit different, because you are using
LCMV, but essentially it should be the same. Lastly, you can check other
source plotting methods, like 'ortho' or try to plot the source
structure rather than the sourceInt structure. In the end, the error
must be somewhere in your grid, be it in .pos or .inside, because
FieldTrip thinks that there is only one voxel to be plotted. There are
other things that may be the issue, but I am not sure about these. So, I
would suggest that you play a bit around and see where the error might
come from (e.g. follow this tutorial:
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/tutorial/beamformingextended and adapt the
steps that you need for LCMV, maybe also check out:
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/tutorial/connectivity#connectivity_between_meg_virtual_channel_and_emg
there, LCMV is used, but on one voxel only)
Best,
Jörn
