Code

The LNS has recently developed and released MATLAB- and EEGLAB-based software dedicated to the preprocessing and analyses of Biosemi EEG files.

More specifically, the softwares enable to automatically:

pre-process ERP files
(https://github.com/HugoNjb/autoERP)
preprocess and analyze resting-state files
(https://github.com/CorentinWicht/RESTINGLAB)
perform time-frequency decomposition and statistical contrasts of ERP files
(https://github.com/CorentinWicht/TimeFreq)

Technical notes

The currently available release of the toolboxes are in beta versions. Some minor bugs may be present and the scripts may still be unstable.
All three toolboxes can exclusively accommodate Biosemi EEG data files.
They run with MATLAB R2019b release, the last release of EEGLAB v.2020.0 and on Windows 10 systems.

Citation format

We are asking users to cite each one of the toolboxes in their respective publications.
