function label = ft_senslabel(type, varargin)

% FT_SENSLABEL returns a list of predefined sensor labels given the
% EEG or MEG system type which can be used to detect the type of data.
%
% Use as
%  label = ft_senslabel(type)
%
% The input sensor array type can be any of the following
%  'ant128'
%  'biosemi64'
%  'biosemi128'
%  'biosemi256'
%  'bti148'
%  'bti148_planar'
%  'bti248'
%  'bti248_planar'
%  'btiref'

%  'ctfheadloc'
%  'ctfref'
%  'eeg1005'
%  'eeg1010'
%  'eeg1020'
%  'ext1020'
%  'egi32'
%  'egi64'
%  'egi128'
%  'egi256'
%  'neuromag122'
%  'neuromag306'

%  'yokogawa160'
%  'yokogawa160_planar'
%  'yokogawa440'
%  'yokogawa440_planar'
%
% It is also possible to specify
%  'eeg'
%  'electrode'
% although for these an empty set of labels (i.e. {}) will be returned.
