Background: In combination with magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data, accurate knowledge of the brain's structure and location provide a principled way of reconstructing neural activity with high temporal resolution. However, measuring the brain's location is compromised by head movement during scanning, and by fiducial-based co-registration with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The uncertainty from these two factors introduces errors into the forward model and limit the spatial resolution of the data.New method: We present a method for stabilizing and reliably repositioning the head during scanning, and for co-registering MRI and MEG data with low error.Results: Using this new flexible and comfortable subject-specific head-cast prototype, we find within session movements of
