= Los Angeles, CA, USA: December 5th, 2024,              === REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN - Limited Places === =
The full-day workshop will take place at [[https://cuttinggardens2023.org/gardens/los-angeles/#venue|University of Southern California]], on Dec 5th, a day prior to the [[https://aesnet.org/AES-annual-meeting|AES2024 Meeting]]. <<BR>> This session will introduce Brainstorm for multimodal data analysis (EEG/MEG) in the morning, and a focus on the iEEG analysis in the afternoon.

Participants will learn how to use Brainstorm and access its new tools on their personal laptops.

Registration is now open, please visit this [[https://my.cheddarup.com/c/brainstormworkshopla2024/items?cart|page]] to register, there is a limited number of places.

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

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

== Workshop dataset ==
In this workshop, we will be working on a SEEG dataset recorded at the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit at UTHealth Houston.

The data is distributed as '''raw''' and '''pre-processed''' data.

 1. '''raw data''' is located in the file '''`WorkshopXXX_raw.zip`''' which contains raw SEEG recordings (in EDF format), T1 MRI and CT scan (both in NIfTI format). The raw SEEG recordings correspond to:
  a. Two files containing seizure onset:
   i. Seizure onset with Low-voltage-fast-activity
   i. Seizure with Ictal repetitive spiking
  a. One file with interictal spike, and
  a. One file containing baseline recordings

 1. '''pre-processed data''' is located in the file '''`WorkshopXXX_precomputed.zip`''', which contains a Brainstorm protocol with the raw data already pre-processed.

Once you have successfully installed and tested Brainstorm (see previous section), proceed to download the data to be used in the workshop.

 1. Download the '''raw data''':
  . TBD
 1. Unzip the downloaded raw data on your desktop: it will create a new folder named '''`workshopUTAH_raw`'''

 1. Download the '''pre-processed data'''. Do not unzip this file:
  . TBD

 1. Final check: after following the steps above, you should have 3 folders on your desktop:
  * '''`brainstorm3`''': the software folder, containing the source code and the compiled executable
  * '''`brainstorm_db`''': your Brainstorm database (which should be empty for now)
  * '''`workshopXXX_raw`''': Raw data, for SEEG localization demonstration
  * '''`WorkshopXXX_precomputed.zip`''': Pre-processed Brainstorm protocol for workshop session
