mnelab 1.4.3

A graphical user interface for MNE

MNELAB

MNELAB provides a graphical user interface for MNE-Python (the most popular Python package for EEG/MEG analysis) and ensures full transparency by recording the underlying commands for each action in its command history.

Key features include:

• Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows).
• A command history that records the underlying MNE-Python commands for each action, allowing users to learn how to use MNE-Python and to reproduce their analyses in code.
• Import data from various formats supported by MNE-Python, and some additional formats like XDF (.xdf, .xdfz, .xdf.gz), MATLAB (.mat), NumPy (.npy), and BVRF (.bvrh, .bvrd, .bvrm, .bvri).
• Export to EDF, BDF, BrainVision, EEGLAB, and FIFF formats.
• XDF-specific features such as chunk inspection (useful for debugging corrupted XDF files), stream selection, metadata inspection, resampling, gap detection and filling, and more.
• Support for various ICA algorithms, including FastICA, Infomax ICA, and PICARD.
• Automatic classification of independent components using ICLabel.
• Comprehensive tools for managing events and annotations.
• Support for channel locations (montages), rereferencing, cropping, filtering, epoching, and more.
• Plotting capabilities for raw data, epochs, evoked responses, independent components, ERD/ERS maps, and more.
