[Eeglablist] EEGLAB in GNU Octave 4

[Arnaud Delorme]

Dear Embar,

Yes, I agree. I was exchanging emails with James recently and he might have some bandwidth to start working on that. I am sure he will need help though and we are also ready to assist. Anybody interested should join. 

EEGLAB is under Bitbucket (GITHUB equivalent) and we can create a branch for all the interested people to work on that, then we will take care ourselves to merge the branch with the dev code. All people involved will get proper credit on our website. Working on open source is a way to boost your cv :-).

Cheers,

Arno
