Fieldtrip is an MEG/EEG analysis software package developed at the Donders Institute. Fieldtrip has a number of options for time-frequency analysis and coherence analysis, and starting with SPM8 shares functions and data format with SPM.

Locally Fieldtrip is installed in:

/imaging/local/software/fieldtrip

The Fieldtrip developers release nightly snapshots of the code, so Fieldtrip "versions" are denoted by date. To use FieldTrip, add one of these folders to your Matlab path, e.g.:

addpath /imaging/local/software/fieldtrip/fieldtrip-20091111

Fieldtrip will be updated when there are major changes to the code, or otherwise just to keep current with development (every 2 months or so). Old versions will be kept for at least one year.

Key features

  • No GUI, so some Matlab knowledge is required
  • Analyses are generally highly customizable
  • Shares data format with SPM8
  • Strengths include time/frequency analysis, coherence measures, and nonparametric statistics

Getting started

The best place to start is the series of excellent tutorials on the Fieldtrip website: http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/getting_started and http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/tutorial.
