BESA EEG/MEG Analysis

Layer 350px

Versatile and user friendly signal processing for EEG and MEG data. The most widely used software in EEG and MEG research, developed on the basis of 20 years experience in human brain mapping. Wide variety of source analysis algorithms. Bidirectional connection with BrainVoyager™ allows source seeding from fMRI clusters with one mouse click
