On April 18-21, 2016 we will host the "Toolkit of Cognitive Neuroscience: advanced data analysis and source modelling of EEG and MEG data" at the Donders Institute in Nijmegen.
This intense 4-day toolkit course will teach you advanced MEG and EEG data analysis skills. Preprocessing, frequency analysis, source reconstruction, connectivity and various statistical methods will be covered. The toolkit will consist of a number of lectures, followed by hands-on sessions in which you will be tutored through the complete analysis of a MEG data set using the FieldTrip toolbox. The lectures and tutoring will be provided by the core FieldTrip development team, and there will also be plenty of opportunity to interact and ask questions to us about your research and data. On the final day you will have the opportunity to work on your own dataset under supervision of the tutors.
Organizers: Robert Oostenveld and Jan-Mathijs Schoffelen, with the help of many DCCN and DCC colleagues.

For the hands-on sessions we will use MATLAB R2012b, which you can start from the Desktop shortcut. To ensure that everything runs smooth, we will work with a clean and well-tested version of FieldTrip that we have installed on all computers and that we will bring on on a USB stick. Importantly, the tutorial data does not have to be downloaded but will also be distributed on the computers and available on the USB stick.
{% include markup/danger %} Please do not use another MATLAB version than 2012b. It should be available on all hands-on computers. {% include markup/end %}
A recent copy of FieldTrip and the data have been preinstalled on the computer and you do not have to download anything. Also, it should NOT be necessary to execute the following lines of code. These are only needed if you DO NOT start the MATLAB from the Desktop shortcut. In other words, you will probably always want to start MATLAB from the Desktop shortcut.
restoredefaultpath
cd D:\toolkit\fieldtrip
addpath(pwd)
ft_defaults
cd D:\toolkit\data
The restoredefaultpath command clears your path, keeping only the official MATLAB toolboxes. The addpath(pwd) statement adds the present working directory, i.e. the directory containing the FieldTrip main functions. The ft_defaults command ensures that all required subdirectories are added to the path.
{% include markup/danger %} In general, please do NOT use the graphical path management tool from MATLAB. In this hands-on session we'll manage the path from the command line, but in general you are much better off using the startup.m file than the path GUI.
Furthermore, please do NOT add FieldTrip with all subdirectories, subdirectories will be added automatically when needed, and only when needed (see this FAQ). {% include markup/end %}
