We used the version of this dataset organized according to the new MEG-Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS 2) ( Gorgolewski et al., 2016 Niso et al., 2018). The original data was published by Wakeman and Henson (2015) and is also featured in the SPM tutorial “Multimodal, multisubject data fusion” 1. We used simultaneous MEG/EEG recordings from 16 participants performing a simple visual recognition task from presentations of familiar (from celebrities), unfamiliar and scrambled faces.

Here we emphasize these unique software features in the context of a typical group data analysis workflow. All together, we believe these elements make Brainstorm a comprehensive yet accessible application for sophisticated and reproducible neuroscience research. Therefore, Brainstorm produces a variety of graphical and quantitative reports, for both point-and-click user interactions and automated data processing pipelines. Brainstorm also embodies the philosophy that even sophisticated data analysis in electrophysiology benefits from a level of interactive visual assessment of data quality and of the spatio-temporal characteristics of possible effects within/between experimental conditions. We provide extensive online documentation and user support, with large collections of web tutorials for MEG, EEG, depth recordings and various types of study design. With Brainstorm, we deploy tools and solutions for this purpose for use by a broad cross-section of neuroscience researchers ( Tadel et al., 2011).

This in turn requires the design of an analytical workflow for signal extraction and analysis, possibly involving source imaging and model estimation ( Baillet, 2017). Magnetoencephalography (MEG)/EEG data analysis requires translating neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience questions into electrophysiology hypotheses. This article describes these Brainstorm interactive and scripted features via illustration through the complete analysis of group data from 16 participants in a MEG vision study.

Yet, it can also be used as a powerful scripting tool for reproducible and shareable batch processing of (large) data volumes. Brainstorm has a rich and intuitive graphical user interface, which facilitates learning and augments productivity for a wider range of neuroscience users with little or no knowledge of scientific coding and scripting. We also provide a free, platform-independent executable version to users without a commercial Matlab license. 8Signal and Image Processing Institute, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, United Statesīrainstorm is a free, open-source Matlab and Java application for multimodal electrophysiology data analytics and source imaging.7McGovern Institute for Brain Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, United States.6Epilepsy Center, Neurological Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH, United States.5Biomedical Image Technologies, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and CIBER-BBN, Madrid, Spain.4Center for Biomedical Technology, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.3Grenoble Institut des Neurosciences, Université Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France.
