[FieldTrip] Leadfield of one condition with two different 'grad' structures

[Sara Aurtenetxe]

Dear Stephan, 

Thank you for your rapid answer. 

Indeed, I did measure the coils position. 
This approach seems the most suitable one so 
I will follow it and see how the results look like. 

Thank you!
Best,

Sara

Dear Sara,

Did you measure for each run the HPC coil position in order to determine the relative sensor position with respect to the head? If so, you could calculate the lead field for each run separately, source localize for each run and then collapse the runs after source localization.

Best,

Stephan
