The new direct interface of BESA Research to MATLAB allows to combine the high-end data analysis capabilities these two programs.
Final or intermediate results of EEG/MEG data analysis can be transferred directly to MATLAB®, e.g. for cross-subject statistical analysis. This includes raw or averaged data, source waveforms, source models, 3D source images, peak scores, FFT and time-frequency results.
MATLAB commands, scripts or functions can be called directly from BESA Research and applied to the provided data using BESA batch functions.
The figure shows discrete and distributed source analysis of an AEP experiment in BESA Research, where individual brain responses are computed. To perform cross-subject bootstrap statistics on the source waveforms, the individual waveforms have been transferred to MATLAB. Statistical analysis is performed using the toolbox 'besa_swf_analysis' that can be downloaded in section 'Download / MATLAB Scripts' on the BESA website.
