FieldTrip is the Matlab software toolbox for MEG and EEG analysis that is being developed at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging of the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour together with collaborating institutes. The development of FieldTrip is currently supported by funding from the BrainGain and the Human Connectome projects. The FieldTrip software is released as open source under the GNU general public license.
The software includes algorithms for simple and advanced analysis of MEG, EEG, and invasive electrophysiological data, such as time-frequency analysis, source reconstruction using dipoles, distributed sources and beamformers and non-parametric statistical testing. It supports the data formats of all major MEG systems (CTF, Neuromag, BTi) and of the most popular EEG systems, and new formats can be added easily. FieldTrip contains high-level functions that you can use to construct your own analysis protocols in Matlab. Furthermore, it easily allows developers to incorporate low-level algorithms for new EEG/MEG analysis methods.

We just concluded the FieldTrip MEG/EEG toolkit course in Nijmegen. In total 40 people attended, coming from the Netherlands, Germany, Great-Britain, Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Spain, USA, Hong-Kong and Japan. The course was held in a very enjoyable atmosphere and we received very positive feedback from the participants. Click on the group photo below to see the complete photo album and get an idea on what went on during the course.

Irina Simanova won the first price for best public talk at the BrainGain consortium meeting. The meeting took place in Maastricht at the end of December 2011. Irina talked about her research in which she uses multivariate decoding techniques to identify conceptual information from EEG and fMRI brain data. Both the EEG and the fMRI analysis has been done in FieldTrip.

Stephen Whitmarsh and Saskia Haegens just returned from the FieldTrip workshop at the City University of New York. The workshop was received with great enthusiasm and we already started thinking about a follow up workshop in New York. There are some photos on our FaceBook page.
