Interpolate bad channels for MEG/EEG channels

This example shows how to interpolate bad MEG/EEG channels

  • Using spherical splines as described in [1] for EEG data.
  • Using field interpolation for MEG data.

The bad channels will still be marked as bad. Only the data in those channels is removed.
