| == 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 conditions. There are two experimental conditions, ''Catch ''and ''!NoCatch'', and seven subjects per condition. The popup menu 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 an 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.

However, tissue segmentation must be performed using another software; multiple options exist today in the academic community ([[Links|listed here]]). |

Subject anatomy: MRI and surfaces
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 (?listed here).
We provide a few examples of the views you can easily obtain with Brainstorm. All the 3D views can be rotated freely with the mouse, zoomed with the wheel, edited with the "Surface panel" and contextual popup menus. The MRI slices can be browsed with a simple mouse operation: right-click and mouse drag.
Channel selection
All the figures displayed by Brainstorm are linked in time. If they feature the same dataset, the sensor selection is also the same for all views. The selection of a channel subset can be easily perfomed by clicking on the corresponding channels in a time series display or a 3D view. Selected channels can be displayed separately, marked as "bad", or deleted.

Defining cortical region of interest: Scout

Scouts are cortical regions of interest, defined graphically from the "Scouts" 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 index finger. With the two scouts Left and Right, one can observe the electrical activity in the primary somatosensory cortex from each hemisphere.
