Eloc Helper is a tool for finding creating EEG or ECoG montage files. File:ElocHlper.png

Installing and Running

Eloc Helper has been tested on the following operating systems: Windows XP, Windows 2000, OSX Tiger and Ubuntu Linux v7.10. Although Eloc Helper may work on other operating systems, it is recommended that you use one of the operating systems for which this tool has been tested. Please choose one of the installation methods below based on the configuration of your system.


Systems with MATLAB v7.0 or greater installed

Startup Script

If you have not yet opened MATLAB, the easiest way to run Eloc Helper is to double click the ElocHelper.bat file that resides in tools/OfflineAnalysis/

From the MATLAB command line

If MATLAB is already running, navigate to tools/OfflineAnalysis/ using the Current Directory explorer or typing the absolute path into the textbox at the top of the MATLAB window. Then, type elocHelper at the MATLAB command prompt in order to begin analyzing your data.

Systems that do not have MATLAB installed or with versions that predate MATLAB v7.0

  1. Install the MATLAB Component Runtime (MCR)
    1. Download the installer for your operating system:
      1. Windows: mcrInstaller7.0win.exe
      2. OS X: mcrInstaller7.0mac.exe
      3. Linux: mcrInstaller7.0lin.exe
    2. When the download is complete, run the installer.
    3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
  2. Navigate to the appropriate directory for your operating system:
    1. Windows: tools/OfflineAnalysis/binaries/Windows
    2. OS X: tools/OfflineAnalysis/binaries/OSX
    3. Linux: tools/OfflineAnalysis/binaries/Linux
  3. Double-click elocHelper.exe to begin analyzing your data.

Troubleshooting

Clicking on any button results in the error "Undefined command/function ..." followed by "Error while evaluating figure ..."
If you're receiving this error, it is possible that after opening BCI2000 Offline Analysis you changed MATLAB's working directory. Make sure that your working directory is the same directory that contains the OfflineAnalysis script.

The file I exported does not import properly
While Eloc Helper can export to different formats, it can only import "Offline Analysis Electrode Location" files. If you are having trouble importing a previously exported file, it is possible that you exported to a "BCI 2000 Electrode Location" file which is an accepted format for export but not for import.
