=======================
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.
