mne.setup_source_space¶

mne.setup_source_space(subject, spacing='oct6', surface='white', subjects_dir=None, add_dist=True, n_jobs=1, verbose=None)[source]¶

Set up bilateral hemisphere surface-based source space with subsampling.

Parameters

subjectstr: The FreeSurfer subject name.
spacingstr: The spacing to use. Can be 'ico#' for a recursively subdivided icosahedron, 'oct#' for a recursively subdivided octahedron, 'all' for all points, or an integer to use approximate distance-based spacing (in mm).

Changed in version 0.18: Support for integers for distance-based spacing.
surfacestr: The surface to use.
subjects_dirstr | pathlib.Path | None: The path to the directory containing the FreeSurfer subjects reconstructions. If None, defaults to the SUBJECTS_DIR environment variable.
add_distbool | str: Add distance and patch information to the source space. This takes some time so precomputing it is recommended. Can also be ‘patch’ to only compute patch information (requires SciPy 1.3+).

Changed in version 0.20: Support for add_dist=’patch’.
n_jobsint: The number of jobs to run in parallel (default 1). If -1, it is set to the number of CPU cores. Requires the joblib package. Ignored if add_dist=='patch'.
verbosebool | str | int | None: Control verbosity of the logging output. If None, use the default verbosity level. See the logging documentation and mne.verbose() for details. Should only be passed as a keyword argument.
