Brainstorm

Brainstorm is a collaborative, open-source application dedicated to MEG/EEG/sEEG/ECoG data analysis (visualization, processing and advanced source modeling).

Integration with Freesurfer (product of François Tade) includes the following:

Subject co-registration

The projection of the source maps on the default anatomy, is now done using the registered spheres (?h.sphere.reg) from the FreeSurfer folder. The improves dramatically the quality of the subject co-registration. If you have been using the menu "Project sources" to calculate grand averages or statistics across subject, it is recommended that you read carefully the new coregistration tutorial:

Sub-cortical atlases

Now Brainstorm imports the subcortical atlas aseg.mgz as a set of surfaces, as part of the fully automated import procedure. More information on the FreeSurfer tutorial page:
