extracting dewar position from a .fif file header

Is it possible to extract the dewar position (upright vs supine) from
the fiff file header?

I looked through the output of mne_show_fiff --verbose and don't see
any obvious indication. Is it encoded somehow?

Thank you,

You may be able to determine this from the room projectors on your raw
file, which are usually computed separately for upright and supine
positions and would typically include 'upright' or 'supine' in their
names. Something like:
show_fiff -vt 206 your_file_name.fif
would show this.

This assumes that your system needed different projectors for the two
positions (sometimes they're identical) and that they're named
consistently. There's probably some better way to do this.

Hope this helps

Sorry, you'd said mne_show_fiff, which would be mne_show_fiff --in
your_file_name.fif --verbose --tag 206 .
