Hi Mohamed,

MEM = maximum entropy method. This was a quick attempt to implement 
MEM-based map modification, as described here (admittedly quite sketchy):
http://phenix-online.org/presentations/mem.pdf
All in all, this works great with very high resolution data (better than 
1A), compare usual 2mFo-DFc (blue) vs MEM (red) maps (this is a 0.6A 
resolution data set):

To make it work similarly well at lower resolutions more work is 
required; so in this sense this is an unfinished project.

FEM = Feature Enhanced Map:

Acta Cryst. (2015). D71, 646-666.
