| <<BR>> == Database and right click == The tree in the main !BrainStorm window represents the database for the selected study. This database has three levels of definition: Protocol (ie. study, selected in the toolbar), Subject, and Condition. Almost all the operations that can be performed on a file are accessible from the popup menu which is displayed by right clicking on the file. The first three buttons in the toolbar allows the user to switch between different views of the same database: * Anatomy: display the MRI and surfaces for each subject * Functional data (sorted by subject): sensors definition, recordings, sources, statistic results * Functional data (sorted by condition): idem, but sorted in a different way The following example shows the MEG+EEG protocol "Catching", sorted by condition. There are two experimental conditions, ''Catch ''and ''NoCatch'', and seven subjects. The popup menus shows all the actions that are available for the recordings of subject ''cc'', condition ''Catch''.

| BrainStorm offers the possibility to reconstruct the cortical activity either on the individual subject anatomy, or on a default anatomy (MNI / Colin27). For this purpose, many interactive tools are available to view, register and process the MR images and the corresponding meshes. However, the cortex segmentation must be performed by external program of your choice ([[Links|list here]]). | Brainstorm features the possibility to model MEG and EEG neural generators either from the individual subject anatomy, or by using a template anatomy (MNI / Colin27) that can be warped to the individual scalp surface. Multiple interactive tools are available to view, register and process the MR images and the corresponding tessellated envelopes. However, tissue segmentation must be performed using another software; multiple options exist today in the academic community ([[Links|listed here]]). |

Cortical regions of interest
Acquisition system: CTF MEG - 275 sensors
Scouts are cortical regions of interest, defined graphically from the "Scout" tab. They can be used to extract the time series of MEG and EEG generators within a single or mulitlple brain region.
The following example shows the cortical response to an electric stimulation of the left median nerve. With the three scouts "S1 right", "S2 right" and "S2 left", we can track the processing of the stimulus in the brain: 1) contralateral primary somatosensory cortex, 2) contralateral sencondary somatosensory, 3) ipsilateral secondary somatosensory.

Digitize and co-register
For accurate source localization in MEG and EEG with registration to anatomical MRI image volume and efficient head localization in MEG, a 3D digitization solution such as the Polhemus-Fastrak is required. Brainstorm features an integrated support for driving a Polhemus device that will help you save time and is efficient for error-checking while digitizing sensor positions and the subject's head shape.
The digitized points are used to check and/or fix visually the alignment of the MRI/surfaces and the MEG/EEG sensors.
