Bring your own data

The last session will be mostly dedicated to addressing participants' requests. We encourage you to bring in your own sample of data that you would be interested in processing with Brainstorm. We may ask that you pair with other attendees, for logistics purposes.

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
