mne_inverse_operator
Overview
mne_inverse_operator assembles a linear inverse operator from a forward solution and noise covariance matrix. It supports advanced options for source orientation, regularization, and output formats.
This is a C++ port of the original MNE-C tool by Matti Hämäläinen.
Usage
mne_inverse_operator [options]
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--fwd <file> | Input forward solution file (required) |
--cov <file> | Noise covariance matrix file (required) |
--out <file> | Output inverse operator file (required) |
--loose <val> | Loose orientation constraint (0=fixed, 1=free) |
--depth <val> | Depth weighting exponent |
--fixed | Fixed source orientations |
--meg | Use MEG channels only |
--eeg | Use EEG channels only |
--bad <ch> | Mark channel as bad (repeatable) |
--exclude <ch> | Exclude channel from computation |
--noiserank <val> | Set noise covariance rank |
--fmri <file> | fMRI prior file |
--overwrite | Overwrite output file if it exists |
Description
This tool creates a linear inverse operator for source localization. It supports loose/fixed orientation, depth weighting, and channel selection. The output is a FIFF inverse operator file compatible with MNE-CPP and MNE-Python.
