[FieldTrip] Easycap M10 coregistration with head model – no fiducials

[Herring, J.D. (Jim)]

Dear Milan,

If you have not recorded the electrode positions yourself using, for example, a Polhemus or Localite system you will always end-up with a suboptimal alignment (fiducials, or not).

That being said, you can skip the step of automatic realignment in the tutorial and immediately use ft_electroderealign with cfg.method = 'interactive', to manually rotate, translate, and scale the electrode positions to make it fit as well as possible to your headmodel.

Best,

Jim

Greetings,

I'm having difficulties with aligning easycap M10 electrodes with a head model. I'm following this tutorial: http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/tutorial/headmodel_eeg#align_the_electrodes

The problem as I see it is that the file FieldTrip/template/electrode/easycap-M10.txt that I'm using istead of standard_1020.elc doesn't include fiducials and can therefore not be properly aligned with the head model automatically.

How can I properly align M10 electrodes defined in spherical coordinates or convert MNI cartesian coordinates to the head model coordinates which appear to use CTF, please?

Yours faithfully
Milan Mitka
