Importing Digitized Points Measured by Polhemus Fastrak

Importing Digitized Points Measured by Polhemus Fastrak
Modules	BESA Research Basic or higher
Version	BESA Research 5.2 or higher

When head surface points and/or EEG sensor locations are measured using Polhemus Fastrak device together with Locator software or Brainstorm Digitize, the digitized points can be exported to a file format compatible with BESA Research (e.g. *.sfp). On the other hand, if you are using PiMgr software (Polhemus tracker management application), you need to reorganize the digitized surface points to fit the file format BESA Research requires. The following wiki article describes how to reorganize digitized surface points for BESA Research: Electrodes and Surface Locations | Polhemus Digitizer Data

After the reorganization, digitized surface points can be imported to BESA Research using the Channel and digitized head surface point information dialog (File → Head Surface Points and Sensors → Load Coordinate Files..., keyboard shortcut: CTRL + L). See also the following wiki article: Importing Digitized Coordinates

The imported digitized surface points can be inspected in a 3D view using the menu File → Head Surface Points and Sensors | View (keyboard shortcut: V).
