Feature: Standard electrode position computation

I have recently finished a little pet project of mine, in which I compute all 345 standard EEG electrode positions of the 10-05 (5%) system. Although that’s nothing new per se and the data are available e.g., from Robert Oostenveld, I thought that it would be nice for MNE to have the actual computations, which then yield the data to be used as part of the code. Currently, there are only a bunch of data files in mne/channels/data which is not as transparent as the code would be.

… as I started to hint at on gitter yesterday, this also relates to the issues about montages, layouts, and digitization, see #5190 #3987

What do you think?

This is the repository containing the computations I am talking about.

Here is a short notebook showing an initial integration with MNE.

And a plot:

I’ll do it if some of the other EEG people think it might be a good idea … @cbrnr @mmagnuski @sappelhoff ?

This now lives in #5944 so I’ll close
