= Los Angeles, CA, USA: December 5th, 2024 = = Register Now: seats are very limited! = This full-day workshop will take place at the [[https://cuttinggardens2023.org/gardens/los-angeles/#venue|University of Southern California]] on Dec 5th, immediately prior to the American Epilepsy Society Meeting ([[https://aesnet.org/AES-annual-meeting|AES2024)]]. <<BR>> This session will highlight Brainstorm's unique features for multimodal scalp electrophysiology data analysis (EEG/MEG), with a second focus on intracranial recordings (iEEG). Participants are invited to their personal laptops for a unique hands-on experience (data will be provided). Registration is now open via this [[https://my.cheddarup.com/c/brainstormworkshopla2024/items?cart|page]]. == General information == <<HTML(<TABLE>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>'''Where'''<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> [[https://cuttinggardens2023.org/gardens/los-angeles/#venue|University of Southern California]]<<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>'''When'''<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>>Thursday December 5th, 2024, 8:30-17:30<<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>'''Instructor'''<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>>Brainstorm team<<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>'''Registration'''<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> [[https://my.cheddarup.com/c/brainstormworkshopla2024/items?cart|Registration is now open]]. <<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>'''Audience'''''' '''<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>>Users interested in analyzing iEEG recordings using Brainstorm.<<BR>>Teaching in English. <<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>'''Documents'''<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> [[https://box.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/s/XRahw8lOSpgFetj|Introduction slides]] | [[https://neuroimage.usc.edu/resources/bst_workshop/2024_lax/Walkthrough_lax_workshop_2024_v0.pdf|Walkthrough]] |[[https://forms.gle/9MCqaWz5NU8AFTpc8|Survey]]<<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(</TABLE>)>> == 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 multimocal data. In the morning session we will work on combined EEG/MEG data sets. In the afternoon we will use SEEG dataset recorded at the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit at UTHealth Houston. [The detailed data and program will be released asap] 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 == Program (TBD) == <<HTML(<TABLE>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>> 08:30-09:00<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> '''Registration & Check in'''<<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>09:00-09:05<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> '''Introduction to the Workshop - '''Richard Leahy, USC, USA<<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>09:05-09:35<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> '''[[https://neuroimage.usc.edu/resources/bst_workshop/2024_parkcityutah/Slides/JohnMosher_slides.pdf|BioPhysics of MEG/EEG/SEEG]] - '''John Mosher, UTH, USA<<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>09:35-10:00<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> '''[[https://neuroimage.usc.edu/resources/bst_workshop/2024_parkcityutah/Slides/SylvainBaillet_slides.pdf|Brainstorm Overview]] '''- Sylvain Baillet, McGill, Canada<<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>10:00-10:15<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> '''Coffee Break<<BR>>'''Onsite assistance in installing the material for the training session<<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>10:15-10:45<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> '''Tutorial – Hands-On Brainstorm 1/3 - '''Y.Vakilna, C.Chinara, & T.Medani '''Introduction to Brainstorm Interface''' Database explorer Loading anatomy and recordings Review MRI volumes, surfaces, Anatomical parcellations Review raw data, event markers, EEG/MEG sensors <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>10:45-12:15<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> '''Tutorial – Hands-On Brainstorm 2/3 - '''Y.Vakilna, C.Chinara, & T.Medani '''EEG and MEG Analysis''' Review RAW recordings & events Frequency filters Artifact detection & correction '''Analysis sensor level''' Import recordings Review trials Trial averages '''Source estimation''' Forward model (aka Head model) Noise covariance matrix Source estimation <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>12:15-13:00<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> '''Lunch Break (Provided)'''<<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>13:00-15:00<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> '''Tutorial – Hands-On Brainstorm 3/3 - '''Y.Vakilna, C.Chinara, & T.Medani '''SEEG Analysis''' Reviewing continuous SEEG recordings Montages and management of event markers Marking SEEG contacts on post-implantation image <<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>15:00-15:15<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> '''Coffee Break'''<<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(<TR><TD>)>>15:15-17:00<<HTML(</TD><TD>)>> '''Advanced topics - SEEG Analsysis''' Time-frequency analysis: Identification of ictal HFO frequency bands Epileptogenicity maps: Localization of the seizure onset zone and propagation pathways <<HTML(</TD></TR>)>> <<HTML(</TABLE>)>> We will provide [[https://neuroimage.usc.edu/resources/bst_workshop/2024_lax/Walkthrough_lax_workshop_2024_v0.pdf|a detailed step-by-step walkthrough]] of the data analyses performed at the training.
