[FieldTrip] Problem using ft_sensrorealign with Yokogawa MEG

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

Hi Victor,

You don’t mention which fieldtrip version you are currently using, but ft_sensorrealign has been moved to compat/obsolete about a year ago. This means that this particular function is not actively maintained and supported anymore. At the moment, I don’t remember the reason for this, but it would mean that there is functionality in the main fieldtrip functions that got rid of the raison d’etre of ft_sensorrealign.
As is mentioned in the README of the compat/obsolete directory, you should move ft_sensorrealign up a few directories. The reason for this is that the function might rely on low-level functions that are located in fieldtrip/private, which are only visible from function that are located in the directory that contains the private folder. ‘fixpos’ might be one of them.

Best wishes,

Jan-Mathijs

HI Fieldtrip experts!

I'm trying to align a headmodel (the one from example "Subject1") with my MEG sensors (Yokogawa system).

I'm trying to do that interactively, in order to construct a Leadfied matrix as accurate as possible. To do that, I am testing this code:

cfg = [];
cfg.method = 'interactive';
cfg.headshape = vol.bnd(1);
cfg.senstype = 'meggrad';
grad_aligned = ft_sensorrealign(cfg, grad); % Im using ft_sensorrealign cause I think is the MEG version of ft_electroderealign

The variables employed consist of:
>> grad =
struct with fields:

  *   balance: [1×1 struct]
  *   chanori: [160×3 double]
  *   chanpos: [160×3 double]
  *   chantype: {160×1 cell}
  *   chanunit: {160×1 cell}
  *   coilori: [320×3 double]
  *   coilpos: [320×3 double]
  *   label: {160×1 cell}
  *   tra: [160×320 double]
  *   type: 'yokogawa160'
  *   unit: 'cm'
  *   fid: [1×1 struct]

>> vol.bnd(1) =
struct with fields:

  *   pos: [1000×3 double]
  *   tri: [1996×3 double]
  *   coordsys: 'ctf'

I have looked at the tutorial for EEG sensors realignment, and I have copied the procedure, since there is not a specific tutorial for MEG sensors. I thought it would be the same, but when executing it I obtain the following errors:

>> Undefined function 'fixpos' for input arguments of type 'struct'.

Error in ft_sensorrealign (line 255)
headshape = fixpos(cfg.headshape);

Error in generating_leadfield (line 63)
grad_aligned = ft_sensorrealign(cfg, grad);

Does anybody know how to do that, or how to do an interactive realignment with MEG sensors?

Thanks in advance.
Víctor.
