== Requirements ==
In order to make the  session as efficient as possible, we ask all the attendees to <<HTML(<FONT color=red>)>>'''download, install and test'''<<HTML(</FONT>)>> the software and sample dataset on their laptops prior to the workshop.

Please read carefully the following instructions on:<<BR>>[[WorkshopGeneralInstall|preparing your laptop for the training]]

== Workshop dataset ==
The workshop dataset is a pre-processed version of the dataset in used in the [[Tutorials/CorticomuscularCoherence|Brainstorm tutorial on corticomuscular coherence]]. It consists of simultaneous MEG and EMG (left arm) recordings during prompted left arm movements. A full description of the dataset can be found [[https://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm/Tutorials/CorticomuscularCoherence#Dataset_description|here]].

Once you have successfully installed and tested Brainstorm (previous section), proceed to download the dataset for the workshop.

 1. Download the tutorial dataset (430 MB):
 https://box.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/s/4Jlbmjy73GUNCZ9
 1. Unzip the downloaded file on your desktop
 1. Final check: you should have 3 folders on your desktop:
  * '''`brainstorm3`''': Program folder, with the source code and the compiled executable
  * '''`brainstorm_db`''': Brainstorm database (empty)
  * '''`workshop_gsan`''': Dataset used during the workshop session
