[Mne_analysis] MNE and estimating subcortical sources like amygdala

[Alexandre Gramfort]

hi David,

what you want to do has been on the MNE wish list
for some time. It's also the first topic proposed for the Google summer code:

https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/wiki/GSOC-Ideas

So I fear the answer is no, nobody did this with MNE, but the good
news is that a few people could team up to make this happen.

If you know a good student who could apply for a GSOC that could help.

Best,
Alex

PS : I know very well the authors of 2) and they did for sure a lot of
engineering with in-house development to make it work.
