[Mne_analysis] Fwd: smooth parameter in morph_data: default to change?

[dgw]

Hi Laetitia,

I think it would be best to take a step back and see how you got these
results. I have a number of questions.

1. How did you produce the individual result? This looks very odd to
me (it seems to only show activity in very narrow strips, which is
unusual).

2. Have you checked the FreeSurfer segmentation and labels to
fsaverage? (The data seem to be rotated somehow).

3. Can you provide an abbreviated version the code you used to produce
this affect?

Thanks!
