[Eeglablist] dipfit uses average reference?

[David Groppe]

Hi,
 I'm using Dipfit 2 to localize independent components using the spherical 
head model.  Apparently the software requires the data to use the average 
reference.  Why is this?  From what I understand, the average reference 
tends to highlight shallow sources over deep sources (e.g., medial 
temporal), as deep sources have broad, relatively uniform scalp 
topographies.  If we're interested in possibly extracting deep sources, is 
there a way we can get Dipfit 2 to NOT use the average reference?
   much thanks,
