Using MNE-Python from Brainstorm
Authors: Francois Tadel
MNE-Python is an open-source software for processing neurophysiological signals written with the Python programming language. It provides an interesting library of methods that are not available in Brainstorm, especially for MEG signal pre-processing, statistics and machine learning. Since MATLAB now offers a very efficient interface with Python environments, it makes more sense to use directly the MNE-Python code rather than trying to recode its original features in MATLAB scripts.
In order to use MNE-Python functions from Brainstorm you will need to: install a Python environment on your computer (version 3.5 or higher), install MNE-Python in your Python environment, and configure Matlab and Brainstorm to connect to this Python environment.
For GUI users who are not very familiar with terminals and command-line operations, setting-up a Python environment with MNE-Python working might be a bit of challenge. The programs involved here are subject to frequent changes, we will most likely need to update this page regularly.

Installing Python and MNE-Python
First you need to install Python and MNE-Python package on your computer. This is done independently from MATLAB. Follow the installation instructions from the MNE-Python website:
https://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mne/stable/install_mne_python.html
Configuration in Brainstorm
In an ideal configuration, your Python environment is automatically detected and configured by Matlab, and you can use any process using MNE-Python in Brainstorm without any additional configuration. This might be the case on Linux or MacOS, but Windows computers always require some manual setup. The first time you call a process using MNE-Python, if the software is not found automatically, Brainstorm would guide you through the configuration.
