Eighteenth EEGLAB Workshop
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - September 7-10 The 18th EEGLAB Workshop was held from Sunday, September 7th through Wednesday, September 10th at the Neurology Institute Deolindo Couto of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Participants were expected to bring laptops with MATLAB installed so as to be able to participate in the practical sessions. The workshop introduced and demonstrated the use of EEGLAB and EEGLAB plugin tools for performing analysis of EEG and related data, with detailed method expositions and practical exercises.
NOTE: The workshop will be fairly technical, some sessions requiring basic MATLAB programming skills. Therefore this workshop might not be suited for people who are just beginning EEG research with quite limited knowledge of it. Rather, the intended attendees are those performing EEG research who want to learn to perform more flexible and in-depth analysis methods, or who are advanced experts and want to share their analysis methods with the world in the form of plugin extensions to the EEGLAB environment.
