[Eeglablist] Coordinate systems question

[Arnaud Delorme]

Dear Lazlo,

it is true that different formats use different axes (and even different 
orientations in the polar space). However, the origin should be the 
same. I would not use the EEGLAB sample location file as a reference (I 
have looked at it and it is true that it does not seem to contain 
standard electrode locations - I will try to think of fixing that later 
since I am at a conference right now). On the other hand, when EEGLAB 
looks up automatically channel locations (if you only use channel 
labels), it uses the standard BESA standard locations (see the folder 
sample_loc folder).

This is correct (if you use standard electrode locations).

Best,

Arno
