[FieldTrip] EEG source reconstruction using fieldtrip (MRI not available)

[Johanna Zumer]

Dear Ying,

Yes, that is possible (although in an ideal world, one does have the
subject's real MRI).

You might gain some help from
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/example/align_eeg_electrode_positions_to_bem_headmodel
  or http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/tutorial/headmodel_eeg (which also then
links you to http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/template/headmodel) for the case
of using the MNI brain).

Best,
Johanna
