4D Neuroimaging/BTi phantom dataset tutorial#

Here we read 4DBTi epochs data obtained with a spherical phantom using four different dipole locations. For each condition we compute evoked data and compute dipole fits.

Data are provided by Jean-Michel Badier from MEG center in Marseille, France.

)

errors = 1e3 * np.linalg.norm(actual_pos - pos, axis=1)

errors (mm) : [1.37436305 1.3777228  1.21169488 1.17616473]

Plot the dipoles in 3D

# Plot the position of the actual dipole
fig = mne.viz.plot_dipole_locations(

# Plot the position of the estimated dipole
