| = Tutorials = == Important notes == * In all the tutorials, we will consider that you are working with the source distribution of Brainstorm, as it is the recommanded way to use this toolbox. If you are working with compiled binaries, some menus might be missing, but everything else should work the same way. * Before starting using Brainstorm with your own data, you should go through at least the first three tutorials, even if they are not illustrated with the kind of recordings of your intereset. A tutorial based on Neuromag MEG data may introduce some concepts that are useful for you, even if you only work with EEG. * If you really want a printed version of this documentation (try not to print everything): open a tutorial, go to the menu on top of each page, select ''More actions > Print view'', print the page, click on the ''Back ''button of your browser, and go to next tutorial. |
= Brainstorm Tutorials = The following pages will take you through a typical workflow of data analyses that will feature most of the tools and applications of Brainstorm.
