Introduction
Brainstorm is a collaborative open-source Matlab application dedicated to magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography(EEG) data visualization, processing and cortical source estimation. Our intention is to make a comprehensive set of tools available to the scientific community involved in MEG/EEG experimental research.For physicians and researchers, the interest of this software package resides in its rich and intuitive graphic interface, which does not require any programming knowledge. |

- Group analysis:
- Registration of individual brains on the MNI "Colin27" brain
- Statistical analysis (t-tests, permutations)
- Documentation and support:
- Easy and automatic updates of the software
- Detailed step by step tutorials for most of the common features
- Active user forum
What you cannot do with Brainstorm
Intensive pre-processing of MEG/EEG recordings (noise cancelling, artifact correction/rejection, etc.):
=> use your constructor's software, or other software solutions (MNE, EEGLab, FieldTrip, etc.). ?See here.MRI segmentation:
=> use FreeSurfer, BrainSuite or BrainVisa. ?See here.
