Hi, I have a question regarding the computation of the forward solution. I don’t understand when I need to use mne.convert_forward_solution. After using mne.convert_forward_solution , what changes occur to the forward operator?
In MNE tutorials, mne.convert_forward_solution was used in Head model and forward computation and The role of dipole orientations in distributed source localization. In other tutorials, the forward solution is a precomputed solution. Has this forward solution been processed through mne.convert_forward_solution ?
Thanks a lot!

It selects how the candidate dipoles are oriented. Are they normal to the cortical mantel ? Are they aligned with mri voxels ? Etc

Thank you very much for your response. Do we generally need to select how the candidate dipoles are oriented when calculating the forward solution? Or do we directly use the forward_solution obtained from mne.make_forward_solution?
Thank you a lot !
the forward is computed in xyz direction so you can choose after it’s computed how the configure it (using mne.convert_forward_solution).
