| You may want to start with a basic [http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/research/eeg/eeg_intro.html introduction to EEG and MEG analysis], and then look at the description of our [http://www.elekta.com/healthcare_international_elekta_neuromag.php Elekta Neuromag MEG system]. | ...you should start on our [http://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/meg/Beginners Beginners' Pages], with links to tutorials and more information on Matlab, Linux, Python etc. |

| Your life as a neuroimager will be much easier if you have a good grasp on Linux (Unix) and Matlab. In general, I would recommend "learning by doing", but the following links will get you on your way, and may serve as useful references when you get stuck. '''Matlab: ''' You can look at [http://www.mathworks.com/academia/student_center/tutorials/launchpad.html tutorials and demos] offered by Matlab itself. This site also contains links to Matlab tutorials at some universities. You may want to start with the [http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/pdf_doc/matlab/getstart.pdf Getting Started] section. The short introduction to [http://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/imaging/LearningMatlab Matlab for psychologists] from the University of Nottingham is also useful. '''Linux (Unix): ''' This is a systematic and well-illustrated [http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ introduction to linux]. '''Python:''' Not essential for "normal" users, the scripting language [http://www.python.org/ Python] is increasingly becoming popular for its flexibility and simplicity. You could start with the [http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide Beginners' Guide]. '''MEG analysis software:''' Most software packages will offer tutorials and demos. They will familiarise you with basic analysis principles, visualisation options, and give you an overview of what's available to you. It makes sense to do the tutorials of software packages even if you are not planning to use them routinely. For example, MNE includes an example data set (tutorial in the [http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/meg/manuals/MNE-manual-2.7.pdf manual]), and there is a [http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/data/mmfaces/ general SPM5 demo for MEG analysis], and a [http://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/meg/SpmDemo tailor-made SPM5 demo for data acquired at the CBU]. And finally one last piece of advice: Talk to people! Ask questions! Try things out! And never give up... |
