Installation Instructions for use with Matlab 2020a or later: Note: SimMEEG has only been tested in Windows 8/10. You might need to install some matlab toolboxes to run SimMEEG. If you don’t have access to the required matlab toolboxes then try installing one of the precompiled versions below, which downloads the toolbox runtime libraries.

Installation for use within Matlab:

  1. download all files from Github link above and place them in a folder  called "c:\data\SimMEEG"
  2. download the folders "anatomy" and "fieldtrip-20200911" from google-drive links above.
  3. place these folders in a directory on your computer, e.g., "c:\data\SimMEEG"
  4. open Matlab 2020a or later
  5. at Matlab command line type >> cd('c:\data\SimMEEG' )
  6. to start SimMEEG, type  >> SimMEEG_GUI.m
  7. when prompted select a "data" folder where data will be saved, e.g., 'c:\data\SimMEEG\data'
  8. when prompted select the "anatomy"  folder, e.g., 'c:\data\SimMEEG\anatomy'
  9. when prompted select the "Field Trip" folder,  e.g., 'c:\data\SimMEEG\fieldtrip-20200911'
  10. Follow the video tutorial below and enjoy simulating MEG and EEG data!
