You will need to download data

You will need also to have installed MNE-Python on your machine. See instructions at: https://mne.tools/stable/install/mne_python.html

Bring your own data

The last session will be mostly dedicated to adressing participants' requests. We encourage you to prepare some EEG/MEG/ECoG/sEEG data you would be interested in processing with MNE. If you are coming with colleagues, try to organize small groups with similar interests (1-4 people).
