[Mne_analysis] Do I need to setup mri and do watershed etc procedure every time I re-analyze the data

Hi Mingbo,

I don't find something obviously wrong in your scripts.

My only recommendation is to make sure that the source space that is
used to generate the forward and inverse solutions are the same and are
actually coming from the very same subject that you use in mne_analyze.
