Hi,

I would like to know spatial locations of the MEG sensors.

mne\_sensor\_locations gives locations without channel names.  
How can I get the sensor's names as well?

I suspect that there is one-to-one correspondence with the channels names  
in the matlab structure (MNE\_raw\_info.ch\_names). Am I correct?
