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

[Milan Mitka]

Dear Jim,

thank you for your reply. I realise that it's not the best setup but it's mostly for learning purposes and should suffice as is. The thing that still confuses me though is that the 10-20 template set does include fiducials whilst the M10 does not.

I've tried manual interactive alignment before but to no avail since the head model doesn't make it very easy to find landmarks. I've also encountered errors when attempting to perform non-linear transformations regardless of the cfg.warp setting.

Anyway, I've solved the issue by utilising a template MRI from SPM which used the MNI coordinate system as a basis for the head model and transformed electrode positions to MNI as well. It appears to be rather tidy so for now all is good.

Yours sincerely,
Milan
