[FieldTrip] Unit of simulated EEG using openMEEG

[Munsif Jatoi]

Dear Hindriks,

The leadfield matrix has got orientation and moments of dipoles. When it is
multiplied by dipole numbers say 1 or 2 at certain location, it will be
generating the voltage matrix. Put it in a more simple way, V= KJ +e where,
V= potential (volts), K= leadfield and J= current density (A/m2). So the
generated data has units of microvolts or the units of voltage. I hope you
got the point.


Thanks,

Munsif.
