- mne.read_forward_solution(fname, include=(), exclude=(), *, ordered=None, verbose=None)[source]#
Read a forward solution a.k.a. lead field.
- Parameters
- fnamepath-like
The file name, which should end with
-fwd.fif
or-fwd.fif.gz
.- include
list
, optional List of names of channels to include. If empty all channels are included.
- exclude
list
, optional List of names of channels to exclude. If empty include all channels.
- ordered
bool
If True (default False), ensure that the order of the channels in the modified instance matches the order of
ch_names
.New in v0.20.0.
Changed in version 1.5: The default changed from False in 1.4 to True in 1.5.
- verbose
bool
|str
|int
|None
Control verbosity of the logging output. If
None
, use the default verbosity level. See the logging documentation andmne.verbose()
for details. Should only be passed as a keyword argument.
- Returns

Forward
The forward solution.

Notes
Forward solutions, which are derived from an original forward solution with free orientation, are always stored on disk as forward solution with free orientation in X/Y/Z RAS coordinates. To apply any transformation to the forward operator (surface orientation, fixed orientation) please apply
convert_forward_solution()
after reading the forward solution withread_forward_solution()
.Forward solutions, which are derived from an original forward solution with fixed orientation, are stored on disk as forward solution with fixed surface-based orientations. Please note that the transformation to surface-based, fixed orientation cannot be reverted after loading the forward solution with
read_forward_solution()
.
