[Eeglablist] DIPFIT: changing model template .loc file

[Ilya Adamchic]

Hi Dave,
thank a lot for your detailed answer. This is the sequence
I follow, unfortunately only with file containing ellipsoid head,
working now on changing it it to the sphere head with my custom
channels. I have read in some previous posts and what i see with my
file, that when you insert custom template files, the co-registration
window does some strange things: shows head model as to small, where
one could not see anything because of the size. Did you have such a
problem?
Do you have some  suggestions on literature to read
(probably what you have already read), regarding head models  used in
DIPFIT and what may be important for co-registration procedure. 
Thanks again for your help,
All the best,
Ilya

Ilya,
I did follow the suggestions with some success.  Within dipfit, I selected "Custom Model", and entered all the default files used when selecting "Spherical Four-Shell (BESA)" except for the "Model template channel locations file".  For that, I put together a file based on the electrode locations of our cap.  I've attached the file as an example (note we use a 59-channel cap with electrodes labeled "EEGX", where X is the number, plus two VEOG channels).  Here's an example of the first few lines from our .elp file:

58
     EEG       VEOG1     127.588      65.992      85.000
     EEG       VEOG2    -130.893     -69.140      85.000
     EEG        EEG1    -109.411      45.735      85.000
     EEG        EEG2    -104.947      70.431      85.000
     EEG        EEG3     102.967     -87.992      85.000
     EEG        EEG4     101.340     -67.224      85.000

There are 58 channels listed since the 59th channel is our reference.
