[FieldTrip] Using different Optimization functions for dipole fitting

[Bastola, Subrat]

Hello fellow Fieldtrip users,

So I was trying to compare different optimization methods for dipole fitting. I use Brainstorm, and found out that Brainstorm uses Fieldtrip’s function ft_dipolefitting for fitting dipoles, which eventually uses the fminunc or fminsearch for optimization purpose.

So my question was that- Instead of using fminsearch or fminunc as specifies in the Fieldtrip ft_inverse_dipolefit, can we use other optimizers such as fmincon , fseminf , lsqcurvefit , lsqnonlin? If yes, can we just change the optimfun to let’s say fmincon and run the optimization on fieldtrip, or only fminunc and fminsearch work for the purpose of dipole fiitings?
