Source Space Vertex Concatenation

Hi,

I have a general question. I’m creating a src object with setup_source_space that has src[0] corresponding to the left hemi and src[1] corresponding to the right hemi, each containing 2562 estimated points in the subsampled space.

When I go on to compute the forward solution using make_forward_solution, it says that my source contains 5124 vertices.

Can I assume that these vertices are concatenated? For example, that the left hemisphere’s 2562 correspond to vertices 1-2562, and the right hemisphere’s 2562 correspond to vertices 2563-5124? Additionally, would there be any cases where vertices would be dropped?

The specific vertex numbers are important to me, as I’m doing some distance calculations using the original vertices in the dense space that I want to relate to later work.

I am using MNE version 1.5.1 ; macOS 13.6.1.

Thank you for your help!
