MLE-Toolbox: Open-Source MATLAB Toolbox for EEG and MEG Data Analysis Released

ai-technology · 2026-04-22

A new open-source MATLAB tool called MLE-Toolbox has just been released for analyzing magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) data. It boasts a user-friendly graphical interface that streamlines everything from importing raw data to preprocessing, source localization, and even machine learning classification. Inspired by popular neuroimaging tools like Brainstorm and FieldTrip, it features automated artifact rejection methods such as independent component analysis (ICA) and signal-space projection (SSP). Users can also take advantage of various source localization techniques like minimum norm estimation (MNE) and beamforming. Plus, it offers multi-atlas parcellation and spectral power analysis, making life easier for EEG and MEG researchers.
