[FieldTrip] Dimension of lead-field Matrix

[pooneh baniasad]

Dear Simon,

I've followed this tutorial:
http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/tutorial/headmodel_eeg_bem to construct the
headmodel ('VolBEM')
I use 'standard_1020.elc' for 'elec' and 'cortex_20484.surf.gii' for
'DipPos'.
Is it clear or should I explain more? 🙂
