@Kirito By not normal I assume you mean - the channels are far away from head circle. If so, take a look at the following thread: > [@Is there any way to fix topomap plot with mne library in python?](https://mne.discourse.group/t/is-there-any-way-to-fix-topomap-plot-with-mne-library-in-python/3808): > > Hi, I am trying to plot topo map with mne library, but I don’t know why the figure does not contain contour/outlier and nose and ears. Anyone can help me with this issue? My code is here: import mne fname = "oddball-epo.fif" epochs = mne.read\_epochs(fname,preload=True) target = epochs["target"].average() target standard = epochs["standard"].average() target.plot\_joint() times = [0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5] times1 = [-0.2,-0.1,0,0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5] target.plot\_joint(times) target.plot… you can also try manipulating the `sphere` argument to see how that changes the channel layout. See this tutorial to better understand what `sphere` argument does and how to use it: [https://mne.tools/dev/auto\_tutorials/intro/40\_sensor\_locations.html#controlling-channel-projection-mne-vs-eeglab](https://mne.tools/dev/auto_tutorials/intro/40_sensor_locations.html#controlling-channel-projection-mne-vs-eeglab) --- _[View the full topic](https://mne.discourse.group/t/my-eeg-topographic-map-is-like-this-how-should-i-solve-it/3957)._
