[Mne_analysis] using inverse matrix from MNE

[Daniel G. Wakeman]

In this case, I believe you can use the inversion from the first run  
on the second.
Simply, open the second run's average with the first runs inverse  
operator ** in mne_analyze. This should work.

**You should be aware of possible mislocalizations introduced doing  
this, because the person's head will not be in exactly the same  
position. I would recommend at least comparing the head positions  
between the two runs. If you have maxfilter available, I would  
probably use this to transform the head position.
