[Eeglablist] Hello EEG experts

[Stephen Politzer-Ahles]

Hello Anatoly,

Welcome to EEGLAB. C++ knowledge is not needed to use EEGLAB; EEGLAB is a
set of MATLAB functions, and thus all its code uses MATLAB. In fact it's
possible to use EEGLAB without familiarity with MATLAB (by using the
graphical interface), although knowing a little bit of MATLAB will allow
you to make batches to automate a lot of your work. You can learn how to
use EEGLAB through the online tutorial at
http://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/EEGLAB_TUTORIAL_OUTLINE.

Advantages of EEGLAB include that it is free (although MATLAB is not), and
that it has a wide user base (which both means there is a lot of help
available, and that the functions have been tested a lot and are relatively
stable). It also offers tools and algorithms (both built-in, and through
extra toolboxes you can add) for doing some sorts of analysis which might
not be available for other software--you can find more information about
these options in the website listed above, and in previous discussions on
this mailing list.

Best,
Steve Politzer-Ahles
