[FieldTrip] BEMCP

[Debora Desideri]

Dear John,
thanks a lot for your promt reply and your suggestion. I guess that I was
sticking to the BEM head model just because I read the tutorial for EEG BEM
head model first, but going quickly through the studies you have mentioned
and considering the tests you have performed, I may also consider to switch
to the FEM head model or to simply use the concentric spheres (which
appeared to work similar to BEMCP in your comparisons). I am relatively new
to source localization and had no crash/errors in my pipeline, and this
combination makes always difficult to find possible pitfalls.

As soon as I have them ready, I will post the results obtained with the FEM
head model as well, maybe they will be useful for some other users :)

Thanks again for your support!
All the best,
Debora
