    ----------
    subject : str | None
        Subject to process. If None, the path to the mri volume must be

    pos : float | dict
        Positions to use for sources. If float, a grid will be constructed

        space. If dict, pos['rr'] and pos['nn'] will be used as the source

        discrete source space. NOTE: For a discrete source space (`pos` is

    mri : str | None
        The filename of an MRI volume (mgh or mgz) to create the
        interpolation matrix over. Source estimates obtained in the
        volume source space can then be morphed onto the MRI volume

        Define spherical source space bounds using origin and radius given
        by (ox, oy, oz, rad) in mm. Only used if ``bem`` and ``surface``
        are both None. Can also be a spherical ConductorModel, which will
        use the origin and radius.
    bem : str | None
        Define source space bounds using a BEM file (specifically the inner
        skull surface).
    surface : str | dict | None
        Define source space bounds using a FreeSurfer surface file. Can
        also be a dictionary with entries `'rr'` and `'tris'`, such as
        those returned by :func:`mne.read_surface`.
    mindist : float
        Exclude points closer than this distance (mm) to the bounding surface.
    exclude : float
        Exclude points closer than this distance (mm) from the center of mass
        of the bounding surface.
    subjects_dir : string, or None
        Path to SUBJECTS_DIR if it is not set in the environment.
    volume_label : str | list | None
        Region of interest corresponding with freesurfer lookup table.
    add_interpolator : bool
        If True and ``mri`` is not None, then an interpolation matrix
        will be produced.
    verbose : bool, str, int, or None
        If not None, override default verbose level (see :func:`mne.verbose`
        and :ref:`Logging documentation <tut_logging>` for more).

    -------
    src : SourceSpaces

    source space.

    Parameters
    ----------
    src : instance of SourceSpaces
        The source spaces to compute distances for.
    dist_limit : float
        The upper limit of distances to include (in meters).
        Note: if limit < np.inf, scipy > 0.13 (bleeding edge as of
        10/2013) must be installed.
    n_jobs : int
        Number of jobs to run in parallel. Will only use (up to) as many
        cores as there are source spaces.
    verbose : bool, str, int, or None
        If not None, override default verbose level (see :func:`mne.verbose`

    -------

        The original source spaces, with distance information added.
        The distances are stored in src[n]['dist'].
        Note: this function operates in-place.

    Notes
    -----
    Requires scipy >= 0.11 (> 0.13 for `dist_limit < np.inf`).

    This function can be memory- and CPU-intensive. On a high-end machine
    (2012) running 6 jobs in parallel, an ico-5 (10242 per hemi) source space
    takes about 10 minutes to compute all distances (`dist_limit = np.inf`).
    With `dist_limit = 0.007`, computing distances takes about 1 minute.

    We recommend computing distances once per source space and then saving
    the source space to disk, as the computed distances will automatically be
    stored along with the source space data for future use.
