External Email - Use Caution Hi! Is it possible to create a source montage for MEG using MNE-Python? Best Karin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

External Email - Use Caution there is no trivial way to do this but you can make a custom so called "discrete source space" with this function. [http://martinos.org/mne/stable/generated/mne.setup\_volume\_source\_space.html#mne.setup\_volume\_source\_space](http://martinos.org/mne/stable/generated/mne.setup_volume_source_space.html#mne.setup_volume_source_space) Sorry we don't have an example yet of how to do this. I presume you have EEG data on a template EEG montage? Alex ---

External Email - Use Caution Thanks for your answer. No actually it?s MEG-data. Wouldn?t such a discrete source space consist of very many sources and thus be a bit impractical to work with? Skickat fr?n min iPhone ---

External Email - Use Caution hi Karin, no the discrete source space contains what you want. You can specify the dipoles you want by their positions. Alex ---
