= Resting state recordings from the OMEGA database = ''Authors: Francois Tadel, Guiomar Niso, Elizabeth Bock. '' This tutorials introduces how to download a resting state recordings from the OMEGA database, and how to process them into Brainstorm. <> == License == The Open MEG Archive (OMEGA) is the fruit of a collaborative effort by the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre and the Université de Montréal to build a centralised repository in which to regroup MEG data for open dissemination. This continuously expanding repository also contains anatomical MRI volumes, demographic and questionnaire information, and eventually will feature other forms of electrophysiological data (e.g. EEG, field, and cell recordings). OMEGA features the technological framework for multi-centric data aggregation, and is amongst the largest freely available resting-state MEG datasets presently available. ''' '''You are free to use all data in OMEGA for research purposes; however, we ask that you '''please cite the following reference''' in your publications if you have used data from OMEGA: Niso G, Rogers C, Moreau JT, Chen LY, Madjar C, Das S, Bock E, Tadel F, Evans A, Jolicoeur P, Baillet S<
