# weighting_scalar

## (Toolbox/weighting_scalar.m in BrainStorm 2.0 (Alpha))

### Function Synopsis

    sc = weighting_scalar(Loc,Orient,Weight,Vertices,Normals);

### Help Text

    WEIGHTING_SCALAR - For use with Overlapping Sphere
     function sc = weighting_scalar(Loc,Orient,Weight,Vertices,Normals);
     Unchecked (for speed): Loc is 3 x n, Orient is 3 x n or null, Weight is length
      n, Vertices is 3 x N, Normals is 3 x N.
     Given a single location and optional orientation, calculate the weighting function
      to each vertex, using it's corresponding normal.
     Let d = Loc - Vertex, d3 = abs(d)^3, calculate for each vertex in Vertices.
     Let n be the normal pointing vector at each vertex
     If orientation is given, assume MEG case, then replace n with Orient cross n.
     Then
      sc = n dot d/d3.
     Repeat for each location in Loc, summing by the corresponding scalar in Weight
