Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada May 7-8, 2024

Practical workshop on EEG/MEG analysis at UQTR

Two-day Brainstorm training, EEG-oriented.
During the two days, participants will process an EEG dataset to learn and explore Brainstorm features. In the second day, participants are encouraged to bring their own data, which we will review in small groups.

Bring your own data

The last part of the second day will be dedicated to addressing participants' requests. We encourage you to bring in your own sample of EEG iEEG 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.
