Preparing the inverse operator for use...
Scaled noise and source covariance from nave = 1 to nave = 55
Created the regularized inverter
Created an SSP operator (subspace dimension = 3)
Created the whitener using a noise covariance matrix with rank 302 (3 small eigenvalues omitted)
Picked 305 channels from the data
Effective nchan = 305 - 3 = 302
Total running time of the script: ( 0 minutes 2.477 seconds)
Estimated memory usage: 9 MB
