<div dir="ltr">Dear Pete,<div><br></div><div>In my experience, multiplying 0.7893 to polar radius worked (that does not mean I correct it all the time; I don't care :-). Try this code and compare topomaps. Don't forget to apply 'optimize center' before doing it (this button is on the right top of channel edit window).</div>

Note that this 'interpretation' stands on the assumption that the circle = Nz-eye-earholes/auriculars-Iz line. Probably, the current EEGLAB's 2D headplot is slightly more inflated than this definition.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I've tried to search the listserv but can't seem to find the answer to this - I've been trying to use topoplot to generate scalp maps for publication (I have a standard 64-electrode montage). However I can't seem to get the electrodes/topography neatly inside the outline of the head. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I've tried messing with the "plotrad" and "headrad" options, but it doesn't come out well and I know that in doing so I'm making the image anatomically incorrect. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So, is there a way to make the image look neat and "bend" the electrodes inside the head radius?<br><br></div><div>It would be nice to get it to look something like figure 4 here: <br><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3114253/" target="_blank">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3114253/</a><br>
