NUTMEG: Open Source Software for MEG/EEG Source Reconstruction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Magnetoencephalography

Abstract

NUTMEG is an open-source MATLAB-based toolbox for MEG/EEG data. NUTMEG includes many options for source reconstruction, an easily navigable window for exploring source results, several options for source level connectivity computation, statistical evaluation of these source results, and conversion to and from formats of other toolboxes.
