Overview
Brainstorm is an open-source application designed for analyzing brain recordings, including MEG, EEG, fNIRS, ECoG, depth electrodes, and multiunit electrophysiology data. It offers an intuitive graphical interface, eliminating the need for programming knowledge, making it accessible to clinician-scientists and researchers. The software supports batch analysis scripting and analysis pipeline design to promote reproducibility and productivity. Brainstorm is developed using Matlab and Java but can be used without a Matlab license, as an executable platform-independent version is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. It facilitates data import/export in Matlab and other popular formats, artifact detection and correction, source modeling, time-frequency decompositions, functional connectivity analysis, and group analysis. This tool is designed to improve the accessibility and efficiency of neuroimaging research.
