[FieldTrip] Magnetic dipole fit vs Equiv. Current dipole fit

[Jim McKay]

Hello Fieldtrippers,

I am consulting with the Sandia Labs on development of an atomic 
magnetometer based MEG system prototype. One of the areas I am working 
on is head localization, so I was looking at the code for the realtime 
head localization in Fieldtrip. I was surprised to see that although the 
comments talk about using a magnetic dipole forward solution, it 
actually used the FT dipolefit code which is based on an equivalent 
current dipole, as far as I can tell.

There should be a significant difference in the forward solutions 
between MD and ECD, so how does this work? Or am I just missing something?

Cheers,

Jim
