[FieldTrip] Dimension of lead-field Matrix

[Simon Homolle]

Dear Pooneh,

http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/tutorial/headmodel_eeg_bem

I relate to this part:

 When the forward solution is computed, the lead field matrix (= channels X source points matrix) is calculated for each grid point taking into account the head model and the channel positions.

So I assume your mesh consists of 2000 grid points?
