[Eeglablist] EEGlab python version

[Delorme, Arnaud]

And also, I would like to advocate that the tools and community on Matlab is widely superior to the one on Python. The MEEG community primarily uses Matlab (90% of citations). 

One has to pay for Matlab but we pay for Microsoft or Adobe licenses, because the free alternatives, even if they exist, does not fulfill our need. In addition Matlab tools also run on Octave (which is free), or in the case of EEGLAB, there is a compiled version that does not require Matlab.

Best wishes,

Arno

It is not an EEGLAB version running on Python (although this is possible as well without the menus using the Oct2py interface - see this page https://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/EEGLAB_and_python). However, if you do not have Matlab, it is better to use Octave rather than Python (because the Oct2py interface above adds a layer by having Python interface Octave to run EEGLAB functions).
