Before you arrive

Please make sure you do the following steps before the first hands-on session:

0. You will need to download this directory of scripts.
1. You will need to download the data.
2. You will need to download the extra data that we will use in some tutorials.
3. You will need to have an up-to-date version of MNE-Python installed on your machine (you need a full install with all dependencies, not "MNE-Python with core functionalities only"). See instructions at: https://mne.tools/stable/install/index.html
4. To check your installation, please look at the (very short!) notebook Check your installation. See below if you need a reminder how to start it.
5. If you are not familiar with Python, we invite you to take the time to work on these tutorials: Intro to Python, Intro to Numpy.

Start a Jupyter notebook

To start a Jupyter notebook, open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you saved this directory of scripts. Then type the command jupyter notebook and Jupyter should open in your internet browser. Click on the notebook you want to run!
