| = Tutorials = == Important notes == * Distribution: * In all the tutorials, we will consider that you are working with the source distribution of Brainstorm. * If you are running a stand-alone distribution: some menus might be missing, some indications might not applicable to you, but everything else should work the same way. * Before starting using Brainstorm with your own data: * You should go through '''__all the tutorials__''' in the following section: "''Getting started with Brainstorm''". In just a few hours, they will introduce you to most of the main features of the application. * Then you can read more specific tutorials, closer to your personal interests. * If you want a printed version of this documentation: * Open a tutorial, go to the menu on top of the page, * Select ''More actions > Print view'', print the page, * Click on the ''Back ''button of your browser, and go to next tutorial. == Getting started with Brainstorm == === Dataset description === The dataset that will be used for tutorials #2 to #10 is a somatotopy experiment recorded with a CTF 151 MEG system. Please download bst_sample_ctf.zip from the [[http://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm3_register/download.php|Download]] section. Unzip it in a folder you will dedicate to original data. It can be anywhere but __not__ in the Brainstorm database or program folder. Example: * __Windows__: My documents\MEG\sample_ctf\ * __Linux__: /home/username/MEG/sample_ctf/ * __MacOS__: Documents/MEG/sample_ctf/ ||<width="150px" style="vertical-align: top;">File: ||'''bst_sample_ctf.zip''' || ||<style="vertical-align: top;">Acquisition system: ||CTF MEG, 151 axial gradiometers, La Salpetriere Hospital, Paris || ||<style="vertical-align: top;">Protocol: ||Shuffled electrical stimulations of the thumb fingers from both hands.

There's a first tiny wave occuring at about 20ms or so but it's not too clear on all fingers. So if you are to compute cortical maps, start by the 40ms peak which is also of interest and which has much better SNR. || === Step by step tutorials === * [[Tutorials/BstFolders|0.
