can you provide more details please? The post title says the head is “small” but I don’t see it in the first image at all. Is it in there, or is it just missing? Also it would really help if you could provide a download link for the `raw` file that has this problem; if we can’t reproduce the problem it’s much harder to know how to fix it.

Hi @chahua, welcome to the MNE discourse forum!

I’m not sure you should use `layout` for plotting sensor positions. Does it work if you use `raw.plot_sensors()`?
