This manual contains important hazard information which must be read, under- stood and observed by all users, For your convenience all warnings that appear in the manual are presented below.
Warning: Like all inverse solutions of MEG, MCE provides a source distribution which is one of infinitely many different possible ones. The results must be interpreted and reviewed by a person having good understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the methods being used.
Warning: This program should only be used with hardware and software given in the specifications listed in the Release Notes of the release being used.
Warning: On some platforms other programs can affect the colors in the windows of the MCE program. In such cases other programs using colored windows should be stopped to ensure correct colors on the displays.
Warning: The triangle meshes used in MCE to describe the shape of the brain must be defined in head coordinates. This differs from the recommended coordinate system usage in dipole modeling program.
Warning: If the regularization parameters are changed from the default ones, the new values must be validated using known data.
Warning: Region of interest may contain multiple sources whose activities are mixed together.
Warning: All users that have access to the database can also access the data- base entries related to the data of other users.
