Welcome to BrainStorm
BrainStorm is an integrated free Matlab toolkit dedicated
to Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and Electroencephalography (EEG) data
visualization and processing. Our intention is to make a comprehensive
set of tools available to the scientific community involved in MEG/EEG
experimental research.

31-May-2007:
A complete BrainStorm tutorial (including a Powerpoint presentation, data and matlab codes) by Stephen Whitmarsh, one of our cherished users, will take you through most of the imaging steps of BrainStorm and is available at his site. Enjoy! (In 'Downloads', select 'BrainStorm Tutorial'.
02-Feb-2007:
We have included new documentation on the BrainStorm tools that allow you to register several MEG studies together. This means you may now compute and compare MEG topographies across subjects because all the individual datasets will be registered to the same sensor helmet. This is useful to achieve e.g. more accurate group averages or run source localization from grand-average MEG data. LINK
Daily-updates of BrainStorm are available !
Download is free but you need to sign-up for registration on our forum page. Documentation is available online, with tutorials and test-run data sets: check also the site map now! |

BrainStorm features include:
- Translation routines to get the user data into the BrainStorm database - Import filters include translators of CTF Systems Inc., and soon, Neuromag and BTi data formats (contributions are welcome);
- Data visualization tools: Various time series displays; Data mapping on the head surface; Generate slides and animations; Channel selection; Data filtering, 3D Surface rendering
- MRI visualization and co-registration: Import MRI scans, co-registration with the MEG/EEG coordinate system; Superimpose MEG/EEG sources and f-MRI analyze results to the MRI ; Volume rendering; Scalp segmentation
- Forward modeling includes the single sphere and the overlapping sphere approaches
; realistic head models using BEM and FEM (new)
- Inverse modeling features the RAP-MUSIC approach using current dipole models but also 1st-order multipole models of the primary neural current sources. Models for synchronous pairs of sources are also available. Minimum-norm imaging of the cortical current density is featured, with co-registration to the anatomy.
- and much more!
- Brainstorm is a platform-independent Matlab toolkit and can be run on any platform that supports Matlab: it's free and open source.
