[FieldTrip] Sourcemodel inside definition too large when using warpmni

[Schoffelen, J.M. (Jan Mathijs)]

Hi Jens,

What does the ‘green’ point cloud look like relative to the blue points when you switch off the non-linear step in recipe a)?

I expected the options cfg.threshold and cfg.smooth to be analogous to the threshold and smooth options for ft_volumesegment but they seem to be used only when I already provide a segmented MRI (so they can't help me here).
