The below script doesn't work to create a headmodel. The mesh has been double/triple/quadruple checked and appears to be similar to the mesh created in the fieldtrip tutorial. The script works using 'bemcp' as a Beamformer method in place of 'dipoli'. cfg = []; cfg.method = 'dipoli'; cfg.tissue = {'brain', 'skull', 'scalp'}; cfg.conductivity = [1 1/80 1].*0.33; headmodel_eeg = ft_prepare_headmodel(cfg, mesh_eeg); The error message is: using the executable "/Users/username/Documents/MATLAB/toolbox/fieldtrip-20170305/external/dipoli/dipoli.maci" /private/tmp/tp0c2a70fa_3fc0_42af_946e_59991f4174a4.sh: line 3: /Users/username/Documents/MATLAB/toolbox/fieldtrip-20170305/external/dipoli/dipoli.maci: Permission denied Error using ft_headmodel_dipoli (line 211) an error ocurred while running the dipoli executable - please look at the screen output Error in ft_prepare_headmodel (line 280) headmodel = ft_headmodel_dipoli(geometry, 'conductivity', cfg.conductivity, 'isolatedsource', cfg.isolatedsource); Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks Steve

The script works as far as I can see, but according to the screen output the executable can apparently not be executed "dipoli.maci: Permission denied" Open a terminal and ensure that the execute flag is set. I.e. cd /Users/username/Documents/MATLAB/toolbox/fieldtrip-20170305/external/dipoli/ chmod +x dipoli.maci Note that this ia an external tool, which is not maintained or supported by the fieldtrip team. It seems that this is not a bug in the fieldtrip code itself, so better follow up on the mailing list.
