MATLAB vs. Python (MNE) for EEG Analysis: The Clash of Titans in Neuroscience
Neuroscience is a lot like problem-solving. You’ve got your raw data, your tools, and your methods. But here’s the catch—whether you’re trying to make sense of EEG signals or digging through piles of information, your success depends on the choices you make. In this case, we’re talking MATLAB and Python, specifically MNE, as your tools…

Importing MATLAB Files into Python: A Step-by-Step Guide for EEG Data Analysis with MNE
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a powerful tool for studying the human brain’s electrical activity. It allows researchers to measure and analyze the electrical signals generated by the brain, providing valuable insights into cognitive processes, sleep patterns, and neurological disorders. MATLAB has been a popular choice for EEG data analysis due to its comprehensive set of signal…

Neural Decoders: The Raw Differences Between EEG and MEG
Imagine stepping into a bustling city. The hum of activity is palpable, with people moving in a coordinated chaos, their lives intersecting in a complex dance. This city is the human brain, a marvel of biological engineering where every thought, sensation, and action originates. To understand this city, to truly grasp its essence, we need…

Phase Unlocked: Delving into the Dark Rhythms of Brainwave Analysis in EEG and MEG
Phase, man, it’s the secret ingredient in the stew of brainwaves that gives everything its distinctive flavor. Picture the brain as an underground jazz club, each neuron a musician, every spike and dip a note in a never-ending improvisation. The rhythms are complex, the beats syncopated, and the phase—well, the phase is the timing, the…

Brain Wars: EEG vs. fMRI – The Battle for Neuroimaging Supremacy
Understanding the brain is like trying to navigate a labyrinth with hidden doors, dead ends, and occasional glimpses of clarity. Two of the most prominent tools in this quest are Electroencephalography (EEG) and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Each of these methods offers a unique perspective on the brain’s activities, much like contrasting views of…
