### Commonly used anatomical landmarks in MEG, EEG, and iEEG research

In the documentation below we refer to anatomical landmarks such as the
Left Pre Auricular point (LPA) and the Right Pre Auricular point (RPA),
or the left and right Helix-Tragus Junction (LHJ, RHJ).

These anatomical landmarks are commonly used in MEG, EEG, and iEEG research
to define coordinate systems that capture digitized sensor positions.

More information can be obtained from the FieldTrip webpage.
