Welcome to the FieldTrip website

20 October, 2021

FieldTrip version 20211020 has been release with several updates, including streamlining the implementation of Denoising Source Separation (DSS) for ft_componentanalysis, support in [ft_redefinetrial]((https://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/reference/ft_redefinetrial/) for stitching pseudo-continuous segmenteded data back together, improvements for importing BIDS data and ft_trialfun_bids, improved nan handling, filling bad data with zero’s as suggested by Sarah Jessen, and more. See GitHub for the detailed list of updates.

The example page on determining the number of subjects to obtain a certain statistical power when using cluster-based permutation tests has been updated by Dr. Cheng Wang with an explanation how to use it for 2×N interaction effects.

This week CuttingEEG2021 is taking place as a (in part) real life event, in Aix-en-Provence. Robert and Jan-Mathijs presented a hands-on training to spectrally analyse EEG data on short and long time scales. To this end, we created a brand new tutorial that also highlights the relatively new feature to represent trls and trialinfo fields as tables. The latter feature relies on data being represented in the BIDS-format. Feel free to check out this new tutorial about time-frequency analysis on short and long timescales.

Artinis, a NIRS company located close to Nijmegen and involved as technical partner in quite a few projects with the Donders Institute and the Radboud University, is writing a series of blog posts on using various analysis toolboxes for fNIRS data. This week they released a blog post on using FieldTrip for the analysis of fNIRS data appeared. Please check it out if you are interested. You can also check out other documentation here on this website that is tagged with NIRS.

From 19-23 April 2021 we hosted the Donders MEG/EEG Tool-kit. Although we would have loved to physically host the toolkit in Nijmegen, the ongoing COVID situation still restricts traveling and large meetings. We had a great week online with over 40 participants and 20 tutors, spanning 10 time zones. Thanks to all participants and tutors for the friendly atmosphere and the constructive interactions!

It is recommended and sometimes even required to provide a sample size estimation prior to starting your data acquisition. Dr. Cheng Wang has contributed a very nice example page that demonstrates how to determine the number of subjects to obtain a certain statistical power, also when using cluster-based permutation tests.

If you also want to contribute an example page, please see here.

From 19-23 April 2021 we will again host the Donders MEG/EEG Tool-kit. Although we would have loved to welcome you in-person in Nijmegen, the ongoing COVID situation restricts traveling and large meetings. However, last year we experienced that in an online format the toolkit course is also really fun, effective and rewarding! Preregistration is now open, please see here for further details.

Yesterday Mats van Es defended his PhD thesis “On the role of oscillatory synchrony in neural processing” and was awarded the PhD title. Congratulations!

Mats not only used FieldTrip in a number of interesting MEG studies, but also contributed as lecturer in the MEG toolkit courses. Furthermore, he recently implemented the reproducescript functionality (which will be published soon). He continues his research at the MEG center in Oxford.
