Abstract

Electromagnetic brain imaging consists of the mapping of neural generators of magnetic fields and electric potentials measured outside the head using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEC), respectively. Here we report on a collaborative project dedicated to the development and distribution of BrainStorm, a software suite for MEG-EEG data modeling and visualization, with integration of MRI information. BrainStorm is developed in Matlab, which ensures OS portability and facilitated interoperability with many other research software resources. Distribution of BrainStorm is managed under GNU licensing, with no charge to users.
