Advanced Techniques in M/EEG Analysis and SPM Software Overview
Explore advanced techniques in M/EEG analysis, including Random Field Theory, Statistical Parametric Mapping, Source Analysis, Dynamic Causal Modelling, and the evolution of SPM software by Karl Friston. Learn about the applications of these methods in neuroimaging research and access free and open-source SPM12 software for comprehensive data analysis. Dive into the world of spatially extended statistical processes for functional imaging data and understand the principles behind M/EEG source analysis and dynamic causal modelling.

SPM Software The SPM software was originally developed by Karl Friston for the routine statistical analysis of functional neuroimaging data from PET while at the Hammersmith Hospital in the UK, and made available to the emerging functional imaging community in 1991 to promote collaboration and a common analysis scheme across laboratories. SPMclassic, SPM 94, SPM 96, SPM 99, SPM2, SPM5, SPM8 and SPM12 represent the ongoing theoretical advances and technical improvements of the original version.
Software: SPM12 Free and Open Source Software (GPL) Requirements: MATLAB: 7.4 (R2007a) to 9.6 (R2019a) no MathWorks toolboxes required Supported platforms: Linux, Windows and Mac File formats: Volumetric images: NIfTI (DICOM import) Geometric images: GIfTI M/EEG: most manufacturers (FieldTrip sfileio) Standalone version available.
