SIFT Downloads

SIFT releases can be downloaded below

You can install SIFT using the EEGLAB Extension Manager (see also section 5.1).

Sample data for the tutorial (143 Mb)

70-page SIFT manual. It gives both SIFT methods theory and a practical guide to using SIFT using downloadable sample data (some of the content in the PDF document is outdated, and this wiki is more up-to-date).

Sample slides from the 15th International EEGLAB Workshop in Beijing, China (June 16, 2012): SIFT Lecture: Theory and Applications and SIFT Lecture: Practicum

A short video lecture on the (very) basic theory and application of SIFT to modeling distributed brain dynamics in EEG is available here. A longer video is available here.

Additional ressources

  • SIFT has an entire module to simulate data that is not described in this tutorial. This page describes it (backup PDF available here). The SIFT simulator allows you to simulate point-like sources, sources on the cortical surface, or sources in fuzzy regions of the brain.

  • SIFT has a folder with scripts (SIFT/scripts folder), which contains examples with detailed comments on how to process datasets. It is worth checking out.

  • Group SIFT is a plugin for generating group-level analysis with SIFT. The plugin has useful recommendations for using SIFT.
