[Eeglablist] Channel locations gone after reading locations

Fri Nov 5 14:01:48 PDT 2021

The source of the problem was that the channel locations file that I used (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bitbucket.org_palday_biosemi128_src_master_biosemi128.ced&d=DwIFaQ&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=kB5f6DjXkuOQpM1bq5OFA9kKiQyNm1p6x6e36h3EglE&m=FZCXwPqZXA7Ezt6vemkIp2iS33KQj6t4TdZzNjVbfOZ6Vod0FnRUiQNVMC7jGPgU&s=-1q-TcQwdzOKdqQOSUc0LGra7Vu-90skw38rgP_Q7QU&e= ; based on BioSemi’s coordinates, https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.biosemi.com_headcap.htm&d=DwIFaQ&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=kB5f6DjXkuOQpM1bq5OFA9kKiQyNm1p6x6e36h3EglE&m=FZCXwPqZXA7Ezt6vemkIp2iS33KQj6t4TdZzNjVbfOZ6Vod0FnRUiQNVMC7jGPgU&s=0sirpTIDD95_SwF2yOzWcxPjBB2JmAAyDsjnERNiVEA&e= ) had one channel more than my dataset. The STATUS channel was not used in my dataset but in the locations file. So I created a new version of the locations file that had the STATUS channel deleted. And then it worked to load the channel locations.

This is because fiducial locations are being added to EEG.chanlocs, which increases the total number of channels by 3. This mismatch causes issues with EEG. I edited get_chanlocs so that the fiducials will be moved elsewhere, outside of EEG.chanlocs.
