=======================
Remap MEG channel types
=======================

In this example, MEG data are remapped from one
channel type to another. This is useful to:

    - visualize combined magnetometers and gradiometers as magnetometers
      or gradiometers.
    - run statistics from both magnetometers and gradiometers while
      working with a single type of channels.
