mne.sensitivity_map#

mne.sensitivity_map(fwd, projs=None, ch_type='grad', mode='fixed', exclude=(), *, verbose=None)[source]#

Compute sensitivity map.

Such maps are used to know how much sources are visible by a type of sensor, and how much projections shadow some sources.

Parameters:
fwdForward

The forward operator.

projslist

List of projection vectors.

ch_type'grad' | 'mag' | 'eeg'

The type of sensors to use.

modestr

The type of sensitivity map computed. See manual. Should be 'free', 'fixed', 'ratio', 'radiality', 'angle', 'remaining', or 'dampening' corresponding to the argument --map 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 of the command mne_sensitivity_map.

excludelist of str | str

List of channels to exclude. If empty do not exclude any (default). If 'bads', exclude channels in fwd['info']['bads'].

verbosebool | str | int | None

Control verbosity of the logging output. If None, use the default verbosity level. See the logging documentation and mne.verbose() for details. Should only be passed as a keyword argument.

Returns:
stcSourceEstimate | VolSourceEstimate

The sensitivity map as a SourceEstimate or VolSourceEstimate instance for visualization.

Notes

When mode is 'fixed' or 'free', the sensitivity map is normalized by its maximum value.
