\*Hi,We are very pleased to announce the new 0.16 release of MNE-Python  
([http://martinos.org/mne/stable/](http://martinos.org/mne/stable/)).A few  
highlights============ - Add support for metadata in mne.Epochs. See:  
[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_tutorials/plot\_metadata\_epochs.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_tutorials/plot_metadata_epochs.html)  
\<[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_tutorials/plot\_metadata\_epochs.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_tutorials/plot_metadata_epochs.html)\>-  
Add ability to plot whitened data in mne.io.Raw.plot(), mne.Epochs.plot(),  
mne.Evoked.plot(), and mne.Evoked.plot\_topo()  
[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_tutorials/plot\_whitened.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_tutorials/plot_whitened.html)  
\<[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_tutorials/plot\_whitened.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_tutorials/plot_whitened.html)\> - Add  
ability to read and write Annotations separate from mne.io.Raw instances  
via Annotations.save() and read\_annotations() - Add option to unset a  
montage by passing None to mne.io.Raw.set\_montage() - Add sensor denoising  
via mne.preprocessing.oversampled\_temporal\_projection()  
[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_examples/preprocessing/plot\_otp.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_examples/preprocessing/plot_otp.html)  
\<[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_examples/preprocessing/plot\_otp.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_examples/preprocessing/plot_otp.html)\>  
- Add support for any data type like sEEG or ECoG in covariance related  
functions (estimation, whitening and plotting) as well as in  
mne.viz.plot\_alignment() - Improve the coregistration tools based on Traits  
and Mayavi used via mne coreg and mne.gui.coregistration()- Add eLORETA  
noise normalization for minimum-norm solvers  
[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_tutorials/plot\_mne\_dspm\_source\_localization.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_tutorials/plot_mne_dspm_source_localization.html)  
\<[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_tutorials/plot\_mne\_dspm\_source\_localization.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_tutorials/plot_mne_dspm_source_localization.html)\>  
- Add support for reading Eximia files - Add the Picard algorithm to  
perform ICA with mne.preprocessing.ICA  
[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_examples/preprocessing/plot\_ica\_comparison.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_examples/preprocessing/plot_ica_comparison.html)  
\<[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_examples/preprocessing/plot\_ica\_comparison.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_examples/preprocessing/plot_ica_comparison.html)\>  
- Add new DICS beamformer implementation as mne.beamformer.make\_dics(),  
mne.beamformer.apply\_dics(), mne.beamformer.apply\_dics\_csd() and  
mne.beamformer.apply\_dics\_epochs()  
[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_tutorials/plot\_dics.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_tutorials/plot_dics.html)  
\<[https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_tutorials/plot\_dics.html](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_tutorials/plot_dics.html)\> Notable API  
changes================ - Channels with unknown locations are now assigned  
position [np.nan, np.nan, np.nan] instead of [0., 0., 0.],- Unknown  
measurement dates are now stored as info['meas\_date'] = None rather than  
using the current date. - mne.Evoked.plot() will now append the number of  
epochs averaged for the evoked data in the first plot title- Changed the  
behavior of mne.io.Raw.pick\_channels() and similar methods to be consistent  
with mne.pick\_channels() to treat channel list as a set (ignoring order)-  
Changed the labeling of some plotting functions to use more standard  
capitalization and units, e.g. ?Time (s)? instead of ?time [sec]? -  
mne.time\_frequency.csd\_epochs has been refactored into  
mne.time\_frequency.csd\_fourier() and mne.time\_frequency.csd\_multitaper()-  
The functions lcmv, lcmv\_epochs, and lcmv\_raw are now deprecated in favor  
of mne.beamformer.make\_lcmv() and mne.beamformer.apply\_lcmv(),  
mne.beamformer.apply\_lcmv\_epochs(), and mne.beamformer.apply\_lcmv\_raw()For
