Tutorials
These tutorial pages suppose you are comfortable with the basic concepts of MEG/EEG analysis and source imaging. If you're not, we encourage you to read some background literature.
To get a quick overview of the software interface, you can watch this introduction video.
If you are looking for the old tutorials, they are still available ?here.
Get started
The easiest way to get started with Brainstorm is to read and follow carefully these introduction tutorials. The number between brackets represents the number of printed pages for each tutorial. All in one page.
