Full-day workshop, prior of the [[https://aesnet.org/AES-annual-meeting|AES2023 Meeting]]. <<BR>> This session will be an introduction to Brainstorm for iEEG analysis. Participants will learn how to use Brainstorm and access its new tools on their personal laptops.

== 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
