Tutorials: First steps

Running Brainstorm for the first time

1. Start Matlab, go to brainstorm3 directory, and type "brainstorm3" in Matlab command window.

2. Domewhere else, create an empty folder to store your Brainstorm database (for instance "brainstorm_database", or "brainstorm_protocols").

3. Do not create this folder in the brainstorm3 program folder

4. This directory will be managed completely automatically by Brainstorm

5. Never put your original data files in this directory: it could prevent Brainstorm to manage it efficiently

6. All the data in Brainstorm database need to be imported via the GUI
