EEGLAB is an interactive MATLAB toolbox for processing continuous and event-related EEG, MEG, and other electrophysiological data incorporating independent component analysis (ICA), time/frequency analysis, artifact rejection, event-related statistics, and several useful modes of visualization of the averaged and single-trial data. EEGLAB runs under Linux, Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X. EEGLAB provides an interactive graphic user interface (GUI) allowing users to flexibly and interactively process their high-density EEG and other dynamic brain data. Finally, EEGLAB offers a wealth of methods for visualizing and modeling event-related brain activity, both at the level of individual EEGLAB 'datasets' and/or across a collection of datasets brought together in an EEGLAB 'studyset'.
Preprocessing Data in EEGLAB
In addition to outlining the motivations behind preprocessing EEG data in general, this lesson covers the first step in preprocessing data with EEGLAB, importing raw data.
Continuing along the EEGLAB preprocessing pipeline, this tutorial walks users through how to import data events as well as EEG channel locations.
This tutorial demonstrates how to re-reference and resample raw data in EEGLAB, why such steps are important or useful in the preprocessing pipeline, and how choices made at this step may affect subsequent analyses.
In this tutorial, users learn about the various filtering options in EEGLAB, how to inspect channel properties for noisy signals, as well as how to filter out specific components of EEG data (e.g., electrical line noise).
This tutorial instructs users how to visually inspect partially pre-processed neuroimaging data in EEGLAB, specifically how to use the data browser to investigate specific channels, epochs, or events for removable artifacts, biological (e.g., eye blinks, muscle movements, heartbeat) or otherwise (e.g., corrupt channel, line noise).
This tutorial provides instruction on how to use EEGLAB to further preprocess EEG datasets by identifying and discarding bad channels which, if left unaddressed, can corrupt and confound subsequent analysis steps.
Users following this tutorial will learn how to identify and discard bad EEG data segments using the MATLAB toolbox EEGLAB.
