mne.viz.plot_head_positions(pos, mode='traces', cmap='viridis', direction='z', show=True, destination=None, info=None, color='k', axes=None)[source]

Plot head positions.

Parameters
posndarray, shape (n_pos, 10) | list of ndarray

The head position data. Can also be a list to treat as a concatenation of runs.

modestr

Can be ‘traces’ (default) to show position and quaternion traces, or ‘field’ to show the position as a vector field over time.

cmapcolormap

Colormap to use for the trace plot, default is “viridis”.

directionstr

Can be any combination of “x”, “y”, or “z” (default: “z”) to show directional axes in “field” mode.

showbool

Show figure if True. Defaults to True.

destinationstr | array_like, shape (3,) | None

The destination location for the head, assumed to be in head coordinates. See mne.preprocessing.maxwell_filter() for details.

New in version 0.16.

infoinstance of mne.Info | None

Measurement information. If provided, will be used to show the destination position when destination is None, and for showing the MEG sensors.

New in version 0.16.

colorcolor object

The color to use for lines in mode == 'traces' and quiver arrows in mode == 'field'.

New in version 0.16.
