""" .. _tut-eeg-fsaverage-source-modeling: ======================================== EEG forward operator with a template MRI ======================================== This tutorial explains how to compute the forward operator from EEG data using the standard template MRI subject ``fsaverage``. .. caution:: Source reconstruction without an individual T1 MRI from the subject will be less accurate. Do not over interpret activity locations which can be off by multiple centimeters. Adult template MRI (fsaverage) ------------------------------ First we show how ``fsaverage`` can be used as a surrogate subject.
