<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are pleased to announce the release of eConnectome, a
free open-source MATLAB software package for imaging brain functional
connectivity from electrophysiological signals. It provides interactive
graphical interfaces for EEG/ECoG preprocessing, source estimation,
connectivity analysis and visualization. The current release allows
connectivity imaging from EEG and ECoG over sensor and source domains. This
package is designed for use by researchers in neuroscience, psychology,
cognitive science, clinical neurophysiology, neurology and other disciplines.
The graphical interface-based platform requires little programming knowledge or
experience with MATLAB.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Highlighted features include: graphical user interface,
EEG/ECoG preprocessing, source estimation (forward modeling, inverse
calculation, and ROI analysis), and connectivity analysis (Directed Transfer
Function and surrogate assessment, ECoG/EEG/source connectivity visualization).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>eConnectome is developed by the Biomedical Functional
Imaging and Neuroengineering Laboratory at the University of Minnesota,
directed by Dr. Bin He. The visualization module is jointly developed with Drs.
Fabio Babiloni and Laura Astolfi at the University of Rome "La
Sapienza". <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>To download a free copy of eConnectome software, or for more
information, please visit <a href="http://econnectome.umn.edu">http://econnectome.umn.edu</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
