Introduction
BDCA for EEG aims to identify discriminating components in the EEG. Each component is represented by a spatial and a temporal activity profile. Ambiguities are resolved using independence across trials.
- Read the Function Reference to see how functions are called.
- Read the Tutorial to see how you should tune the parameters.
How to obtain the code
The best way to get the code is this:
- Make sure SVN is installed on your machine (why?):
- (Mac) To install SVN on a Mac follow steps 1,2,3 given here
- (Linux) To install SVN on Linux is very easy using apt-get or find it in the synaptic package manager.
- (Windows / Redhat / Solaris) go here
- Click the "Source" tab or click here to see exactly how you use SVN to receive the up-to-date source code. It will tell you to run the following command from a terminal:
svn checkout http://bdca.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ bdca-read-only
the source will then be downloadet to a directory called bdca-read-only under your current directory.
Alternatively, (NOT RECOMMENDED)
- Click the "Downloads" tab, and download a release which will NOT be up to date with bug fixes and new features.
Dependencies
The BDCA toolbox relies (currently) on other toolboxes. You need to download and install the following toolboxes in order to use the BDCA toolbox:
- OGP - You might only need the matern.m function. Here's the file: download
- IMMOPTIBOX - Get the file: download
Staying up to date with bugfixes and new features
If the source code on this page changes you can get the updates in a simple step:
- In a terminal, go to the bdca-read-only directory where the toolbox is located on your machine.
- run the following command from the terminal:
svn update
that's it!
