Hi Dan,

Thanks for responding.  Yes, the two points are intentional.

Here's a dump of where the dipoles are made using mne_list_source_space:

# CoordinateSystem "Head"
# begin   end  X (mm)  Y (mm)  Z (mm) Q(nAm) Qx(nAm) Qy(nAm) Qz(nAm)    g/%
      1     1    30.0    50.0    80.0   10.0    2.67    5.35    8.02  100.0
      2     2    40.0    40.0    70.0   10.0    5.96    2.98    7.45  100.0
## Name "ALL dipoles" Style "Dipoles2"

If  there's a problem upstream, is there something in the output from mne_forward_solution which indicates where it is?  The only thing I see which might be that is:

" Setting up compensation data...
          No compensation set. Nothing more to do."

What do you think?

Don

Hi Don,

Well, the first thing I noticed, is there are only two points in your  
source space. Usually, this is quite odd. Is this intentional? The  
problem may be further upstream.
