Convert to .raw
Once you record the data, it will be saved as a .mff file. Find this .mff file and convert it to .raw using Netstation Tools. [Add steps/tutorial for how to convert to raw] Alternatively, you can use the mff2eeglab.m function that came with the EGI Matlab MFF API (/Users/eeglab/Documents/MATLAB/EGI_Matlab_MFF_API_v2_2014-07-25/demoCode/mff2eeglab.m) if you can figure out how to get it to work.
Learn How to Use Matlab
Matlab has some good introductory tutorials that can be found here. Ask Dr. Thom (or someone) for the login and password. You should start with the Matlab Onramp, and then move on to the MATLAB Fundamentals Academic Tutorial if you want more detailed tutorials. These will answer important questions such as:
"What is a function?" "How do I use an array?" "How do I create a loop?" After doing the Matlab Onramp tutorials, you may want to look at the following Matlab Fundamentals Academic Tutorials:
01: Introduction 02: Working with the MATLAB User Interface 03: Variables and Expressions 06: Automating Commands with Scripts 10: Logic and Flow Control 13: Writing Functions
