[FieldTrip] Parcellation Human connectome project-eLORETA

[mehdy dousty]

Hello,
Thanks for the answer and sorry for my vague explanation. here is my code
to compute the inverse problem by eLORETA using the provided MRI, DATA and
 Source model in HCP.

% source localization for resting state HCP.
load('100307_MEG_3-Restin_rmegpreproc.mat') ; % loading the data;
load('100307_MEG_anatomy_headmodel.mat');% loading the headmodel
tmp = load('100307_MEG_anatomy_sourcemodel_3d6mm.mat');% sourcemodel by 6mm
individual_sourcemodel3d = tmp.sourcemodel3d;

%% MRI
individual_mri = ft_read_mri('T1w_acpc_dc_restore.nii.gz');
hcp_read_ascii('100307_MEG_anatomy_transform.txt');
individual_mri.transform = transform.vox07mm2bti;
individual_mri.coordsys = 'bti';

%% converting to the same coordination unit
individual_mri = ft_convert_units(individual_mri,'mm');
individual_sourcemodel3d = ft_convert_units(individual_sourcemodel3d,'mm');
headmodel = ft_convert_units(headmodel,'mm');
data.grad = ft_convert_units(data.grad,'mm');


%% leadfield matrix
cfg = [];
cfg.grid = individual_sourcemodel3d;
cfg.headmodel = headmodel;
cfg.grad = data.grad;
cfg.channel = ft_channelselection('MEG',data.label);
cfg.reducerank = 'no';
leadfield = ft_prepare_leadfield(cfg);


%% timelcok
cfg = [];
cfg.covariance = 'yes';
cfg.covariancewindow = [0 1000];
cfg.keeptrials = 'yes';
timelockanalaysis = ft_timelockanalysis(cfg,data);

%% Eloreta
cfg = [];
cfg.method = 'eloreta';
cfg.vol = headmodel;
cfg.grid = leadfield;
cfg.eloreta.lambda = 0.05; %Regularization parameters,cross-validation can
be
%used but as it resting state and we really dont know what the outupt looks
%like then we have to use emprical numbers which
cfg.mne.projectnoise = 'yes';
cfg.keepmom = 'yes'; %keep dipole moment
cfg.mne.keepmom = 'yes';
cfg.senstype = 'meg';
cfg.keepfilter = 'yes';
cfg.eloreta.reducerank = 'no';
source_eloreta = ft_sourceanalysis (cfg, timelockanalaysis);

so far , I compute the eLORETA, now I would like to project the data into
3d surface, like the way it was done for beamformer in
http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/tutorial/plotting' and then make a
parcellation based on some predefined atlases and then do the other
analysis.
I do appreciate for your helping.
Thanks
