Context

Choosing the right software package for MEG or EEG analysis is challenging. It requires balancing efficiency, ease of use, and the specific analytical methods needed for a specific study. While numerous open-source software packages support classical analyses within a single environment, each has its own strengths—such as source-space analysis, time-frequency analysis, multivariate decoding, or multilevel statistics. As a result, researchers often need to integrate multiple tools to build customized analysis pipelines that leverage the best features of different software environments.

Purpose

PracticalMEEG offers an intensive three and a half day training program featuring immersive hands-on tutorials for FieldTrip, EEGLAB, MNE-Python, and Brainstorm, complemented by plenary lectures and posters. Attendees will develop practical skills to create a complete MEEG analysis pipeline – from preprocessing and source level analysis to group-level statistics – based on exemplar or personal dataset using one or more of the four leading software.

New this year

A dedicated half day “Traineers” session for participants with strong expertise in one of these toolboxes who want to develop the training skills. Traineers will also serve as helpers in their respective software tutorials throughout the event. This hands-on experience will reinforce their own learning while providing valuable support to fellow attendees.
