Dear Simon

Thanks a lot for your attention and sorry for the late response. I've
actually found which part of the code makes a problem. I used the
ft_prepare_vol_sens's function in a wrong way.

Now I have another problem. I change the coordination system from 'ctf' to
'spm' by using this code:

cfg = [];

[mri] = ft_volumenormalise(cfg, mri);

When I segmented 'scalp' separately and prepared mesh from it, the figure
was well (1.fig). On the other hand when I changed the segmentation into
{'brain', 'skull', 'scalp'}, the scalp can not be computed properly
(2.fig).
