[Eeglablist] About electrode locations (Easycap) and topoplot

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Ramon,

He says EasyCap file is not compatible with EEGLAB channel import. Could
you check it?

Meanwhile, Ai, if you have channels names like Fz, Cz, Pz... this naming
rule is called 'international 10-5 system' which EEGLAB can find their
default values according to Oostenveld and Praamstra (2001)'s definition.
Just confirm that all the channel names follow this 10-5 system, and import
it, and 'find locs' in 'edit-channel locations'.
