The EEGLAB graphic interface is built on top of the powerful Matlab scripting language. Enjoying the full capabilities of EEGLAB for building macro commands and performing custom and automated processing requires the ability to manipulate EEGLAB data structures in Matlab. Due to time constraints, we will NOT provide an introduction to Matlab scripting. Attendees need to familiarize themselves with Matlab prior to the workshop. Users of Matlab 7+ -- we recommend running the following demos and reading the following help sections:
After opening the Matlab desktop, select menu item "Help" and run the "Getting Started with MATLAB" tutorial. Each of the 10 sections should take you about 2 to 5 minutes, for a total of about 1 hour. IMPORTANT NOTE: A portion of the workshop will be dedicated to writing EEGLAB scripts, so not being able to understand Matlab syntax will leave you frustrated during a portion of the workshop.
