Installation and Setup

1. Clone this repository.
2. Add the FieldTrip Repository to MATLAB path.

Preprocessing

• Preprocess data using the included preprocessing script in premade_scripts.

Configuration

• Setup file paths in main.m:
  • Lines 8-20 are needed for preprocessed filenames.
  • Method getFolderPath needs changing to your path (found in methods/getFolderPath.m).
  • Fill out config parameters on lines 21-55.

Running the Program

• Press run.
