mne.channels.make_standard_montage#

mne.channels.make_standard_montage(kind, head_size='auto')[source]#

Read a generic (built-in) montage.

Parameters

kindstr: The name of the montage to use. See notes for valid kinds.
head_sizefloat | None | str: The head size (radius, in meters) to use for spherical montages. Can be None to not scale the read sizes. 'auto' (default) will use 95mm for all montages except the 'standard*', 'mgh*', and 'artinis*', which are already in fsaverage’s MRI coordinates (same as MNI).

Returns

montageinstance of DigMontage: The montage.

Notes

Individualized (digitized) electrode positions should be read in using read_dig_captrak(), read_dig_dat(), read_dig_egi(), read_dig_fif(), read_dig_polhemus_isotrak(), read_dig_hpts() or made with make_dig_montage().
