Tutorials
We are currently working on a new version of this page, expected to be finished during the summer 2015.
Required background
These tutorial pages suppose you are comfortable with the basic concepts of MEG and EEG source imaging. If you're not, we engage you to read some background information, which will quickly help you getting up to speed with this field:
A non-technical overview of MEG and EEG, with an emphasis on source modeling:
Canada MEG ConsortiumSlides from a selection of educational courses:
megcommunity.org- Reference books:
MEG: An Introduction to Methods
Editors: P Hansen, M Kringelbach, R Salmelin, Oxford University Press, 2010, 448 pagesThe Oxford Handbook of Social Neuroscience
Editors: J Decety, JT Cacioppo, Oxford University Press, 2011, 1128 pages
A draft version of the MEG chapter by Sylvain Baillet can be found here.
Good practice for conducting and reporting MEG research, Gross et al, Neuroimage, 2013
You can also ask us to come and organize a training session at your institution, or visit us to obtain training (McGill's Montreal Neurological Institute).
Now you are well equipped to go through the software tutorial, Enjoy!
