[FieldTrip] EEG position information not read properly from fif file

Hello,

I am reading fif files with only EEG data (no MEG data)in fieldtrip . When my sensor locations are more than 60 than the positions in the elec.elecpos are not written


Digging a bit deeper into this showed me that in mne2grad.m file line number 420 ( fieldtrip-20160306?) is the cause of the problem


  kChan = 0;

  for n = chn_eeg

    kChan = kChan+1;

    if nEEG<=60 % this if condition is the reason position was not written properly

      elec.elecpos(kChan,1:3) = orig.chs(n).eeg_loc(1:3);

    else

      if kChan<=numel(dig_eeg)

        elec.elecpos(kChan,1:3) = orig.dig(dig_eeg(kChan)).r;

      else

        ft_warning('not all EEG channel positions have been digitized');

        elec.elecpos(kChan,1:3) = nan;

      end

    end

    elec.label{kChan} = deblank(orig.ch_names{n});

  end



I haven't read the whole source code for mne2grad.m to understand why this condition  is important and why the limit is of 60 channels. I am solving my problem by changing this condition, I hope this will not effect rest of my processing


Kind regards
