[FieldTrip] sLORETA

[Vladimir Litvak]

Dear all,

There are self contained low level functions for sLORETA and dSPM in NutMEG. I recently used them to add this functionality to my DAiSS toolbox (https://github.com/SPM/DAiSS, look in /private).

Best,

Vladimir

My understanding is that the sLORETA is the STD of the MNE estimate times the MNE estimate (e.g., J * STD-inverse * J in  http://www.uzh.ch/keyinst/NewLORETA/sLORETA/sLORETA.htm).  I have used the EMSE and CURRY sLORETA algorithms with the same data in am using in FT, and like some of those results vis-a-vis MNE and eLORETA from FT.

From our end, we can then incorporate your suggested adjustments to the code. One thing you could look into, is the way in which sLORETA (and while you’re at it :o) dSPM) is computed in Brainstorm, which is also open source and matlab-based.
