% DEL2MAP - compute the discrete laplacian of an EEG distribution.
%
% Usage:
% >> [ laplac ] = del2map( map, filename, draw );
%
% Inputs:
% map - level of activity (size: nbChannel)
% filename - filename (.loc file) countaining the coordinates
% of the electrodes, or array countaining complex positions
% draw - integer, if not nul draw the gradient (default:0)
%
% Output:
% laplac - laplacian map. If the input values are in microV and the
% the sensors placement are in mm, the output values are
% returned in microV/mm^2. In order to use current density
% units like milliamps/mm2, you would need to know skin
% conductance information, which as far as we know is not
% really known with enough accuracy to be worthwhile.
