Hi Lucie,

When you specify --projoff the EEG average reference projection is  
still included with the output file but the average EEG reference is  
not automatically switched on when you load the data to  
mne\_browse\_raw. To see the effect of the average electrode reference,  
go to "Manage averages..." and click on "Proj..." where you can switch  
the average EEG reference on and off.

However, when the inverse operator is created, the average EEG  
reference is switched automatically on.
