We will provide a detailed step-by-step walkthrough of the data analyses performed at the training. In addition, results obtained in this workshop can be replicated with this script (to be updated).
Bring your own data
At the end of the session, the Brainstorm team will dedicate their time to address participants' requests. We encourage you to bring in your own sample of data that you would be interested in processing with Brainstorm.
The file formats that can be read by Brainstorm are listed on the Introduction page. Please contact us in advance if you are not sure your dataset can be imported in Brainstorm. If you do not have data available, you may continue to use the tutorial dataset used in the present workshop.
Troubleshooting
