EEG Simulation based on Head model

[Raymundo.Cassani]

As you may have seen the Simulation tutorial is not an standalone tutorial, it is based on the results obtained once you follow the Introduction tutorial. If you want to follow it you need first to follow the introduction tutorial.

@sarach

To proceed, could you please assist me with copying the channel file, noise covariance, and the head model "Overlapping sphere" from the imported folder for the first acquisition run (S01_AEF_20131218_01_600Hz_notch)? You can do this by using CTRL+C/CTRL+V or through the popup menus File > Copy/Paste.

Should I copy this folder from the sample_introduction protocol of brainstorm to my own protocol?
Thank you so much again in advance.

No you should not copy:

1. It a complete different modality, (MEG was used in the Introduction tutorial and you are looking to simulate EEG), thus the head model is not useful.

2. There is no need of noise covariance matrix. The only thing that is needed is:

   1. An anatomy (default anatomy works)
   2. A channel file indicating the positions of the electrodes

Check this post on how to create a subject using a predefined EEG cap.

Once you have the Channel file and the Head model, you can proceed as in:
