[Eeglablist] Difficulty installing Biosig after EEGLAB install on Mscbook

[Hunt, Andrea Lisette McGraw]

Hi,

I’m a really rudimentary Matlab/EEGLAB user, and I’m also PC literate rather than Mac. I have a student I’m onboarding to be a research assistant who uses a Macbook, and we have installed Matlab and EEGLab successfully on her machine, as well as the frontal asymmetry toolbox, using the Add On manager in Matlab. (This actually went very smoothly compared to installs on my PC!) EEGLab opens fine on the Macbook and we have since tried to open an EDF file using the Biosig tools option. EEGLAB then attempts to download and install Biosig (which on my machine has always gone smoothly). However, my student keeps getting this message:

"Could not download extension. Host site might be
unavailable, too slow or you do not have permission to write in the EEGLAB plugin folder. Try again
just in case or use a faster connection.
Alternatively install the plugin manually by downloading it at http://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/EEGLAB_Extensions_and_plug-ins
unziping it in the eeglab/plugin folder and restarting eeglab"

We have downloaded Biosig from the host website and attempted to manually place it in the correct folder in EEGLAB, but EEGLAB continues to try to download Biosig itself and gives us the same error message. The error message occurs regardless of what wireless network she is on, whether at home or at the university. We have checked the permissions of Matlab folder to ensure she can modify it, that’s fine. Is this problem particular to the Mac OS? How do we get this running?

Thank you!

Andi
