Hello,

To average MEG data across subjects....

is it best to utilize mne\_make\_movie with the custom parameters and outputting to stc file, then average the stc file from each subject and morph it on to an averaged surface?

The point of this is to see averaged activation for further processing/analysis.

Thank you,
