![]() In contrast, EEGLAB provides a graphic user interface (GUI) for data exploration plus a graded path toward writing custom analysis scripts using the EEGLAB functions called by the EEGLAB GUI.įieldTrip provides limited tools for handling group data. In practice, the philosophies of EEGLAB and FieldTrip are somewhat different:įieldTrip is aimed mostly at advanced users and does not have a graphic user interface. Working from experience with a diversity of approaches allows us to identify and deal with problematic signal processing issues. In the spirit of open-source programming, we believe that more collaboration is better. The FieldTrip code also includes some EEGLAB functions such as topoplot.m and runica.m for performing independent component analysis decomposition.ĮEGLAB and FieldTrip developers meet every year or every other year to discuss progress in the field and possible collaborations or new bridges between the two software. ![]() EEGLAB also offers users the choice of using some FieldTrip statistical routines as well as its own. For basic source localization, EEGLAB uses the DIPFIT plugin, which incorporates a FieldTrip source localization routine. InterdependenciesĮEGLAB and FieldTrip are in part interdependent. Both packages run on MATLAB (The Mathworks, Inc.). Together with many other functions written at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behavior (Nijmegen, The Netherlands), the source code contributed by Robert Oostenveld to DIPFIT served as a basis for FieldTrip, which was first released by the Donders Institute in 2005. In 2003-04, the EEGLAB software architect Arnaud Delorme worked with FieldTrip senior author Robert Oostenveld to provide basic source localization to EEGLAB via the EEGLAB DIPFIT plugin using MATLAB code Robert had developed for dipole fitting. EEGLAB was fully released in 2002 at the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience, UCSD (La Jolla, California, USA). EEGLAB was created in 2000 at The Salk Institute (La Jolla CA) by Arnaud Delorme and Scott Makeig.
