Matlab crashes on trying to import

Bugs

I’m new to brainstorm. I downloaded and ran the brainstorm.m file. I followed the instructions and started a new protocol, added a new subjec, then i’m trying to import MEG/EEG by right click on Subject. Matlab crashes and gives the following bug:

Hello,

Sorry to hear you’re having issues. In our experience, Matlab R2017a is a pretty stable release. Sadly, this crash file is generated by Matlab and not Brainstorm, and therefore doesn’t give us much debugging information.

The first and most obvious thing you could try would be to open Matlab and Brainstorm again and see if the error reoccurs.

The second thing you can do, since the crash file seems to be referring to a Java error, would be to increase the Java heap memory. From Matlab, go to the Home tab -> Preferences -> General -> Java Heap Memory and go ahead and increase it using the slider.

If that doesn’t work, you can submit the bug to Mathworks, the company that runs Matlab: https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/

Other options include updating your version of Matlab, Java, or using another computer.

Best of luck,
Martin

Hello
Another thing you can try: make sure everything on your computer is up-do-date (start windows update manually if you disabled it), especially your graphics driver.
Otherwise, I don’t see other solutions that reporting the bug on the Mathworks website. They usually reply fast and provide efficient help in finding workarounds. This solution would work only if you have a valid Matlab license of course :slight_smile:
