mne.bem.make_scalp_surfaces#
- mne.bem.make_scalp_surfaces(subject, subjects_dir=None, force=True, overwrite=False, no_decimate=False, *, threshold=20, mri='T1.mgz', verbose=None)[source]#
Create surfaces of the scalp and neck.
The scalp surfaces are required for using the MNE coregistration GUI, and allow for a visualization of the alignment between anatomy and channel locations.
- Parameters:
- subject
str The FreeSurfer subject name.
- subjects_dirpath-like |
None The path to the directory containing the FreeSurfer subjects reconstructions. If
None, defaults to theSUBJECTS_DIRenvironment variable.- forcebool
Force creation of the surface even if it has some topological defects. Defaults to
True. See Fixing BEM and head surfaces for ideas on how to fix problematic meshes.- overwritebool
If True (default False), overwrite the destination file if it exists.
- no_decimatebool
Disable the “medium” and “sparse” decimations. In this case, only a “dense” surface will be generated. Defaults to
False, i.e., create surfaces for all three types of decimations.- threshold
int The threshold to use with the MRI in the call to
mkheadsurf. The default is20.New in v1.1.
- mri
str The MRI to use. Should exist in
$SUBJECTS_DIR/$SUBJECT/mri.New in v1.1.
- verbosebool |
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.
