Peng, 
Please see the link

Part of the email as :

Kambiz,

What Dan meant is to read the fif file, change the transform, and write 
the file back. I'm not very familiar with the matlab toolbox, but in 
mne-python you could do it as follows:

--------------------------------------
import mne

raw = mne.fiff.Raw('raw.fif')
raw.info['dev_head_t']['trans'] = my_matrix
raw.save('raw_mytrans.fif')
--------------------------------------

where "my_matrix" is a 4x4 numpy array with your transform.

I hope this helps.

Best,

Martin

Hope it helps.

Thanks, dgw and junpeng for your feedback. I did read the manual before asking:)


I am sorry '-src.fif' was a typo, I wanted to read -trans.fif. I did not find a proper function in the manual.


To write it, <fiff_write_coord_trans> seem to be the correct function. 
According to the manual, I set 
==
t.from = 4 %(head); 
t.to = 5 %(mri); 
t.trans = M; %(4x4 matrix). 
x = fopen('t.fif', 'w'); 
fiff_write_coord_trans(x, t); 
fclose(x);

==
No complains from matlab in writing.
But mne_analyze complain that the file "does not start properly"...

Hi Peng,

The matlab toolbox chapter in the manual specifies how you read each
file type. The function to read a "-src.fif" file is
mne_read_source_spaces.
