Lectures

The following lectures introduce basic ideas, features, and applications of BESA Research:

• BESA Introduction to Multiple Source Analysis (18.0 MB): An introduction to the principles of multiple source analysis of EEG and MEG data with and without combination with fMRI. Includes examples from the BESA hands-on tutorials.

Three recent lectures from the Dianalund Summer School on EEG and Epilepsy, July 2012:

• BESA_From current dipoles to scalp maps (4.9 MB): A tutorial talk to take you from the dipolar origin of the EEG to the generation of scalp voltage topographies associated with focal epileptic spikes and to their interpretation using 3D maps.
• BESA_Source localization of epileptiform discharges (7.5 MB): An introduction to the principles of averaging and source localization of interictal spikes.
• BESA_Source localization of seizure onset by phase maps (4.5 MB).

Lecture on new workflow for efficient and fast analysis of interictal spikes recorded with MEG or high-density EEG systems:

• Optimizing non-invasive interictal spike detection and localization in MEG (4.41 MB) This lecture demonstrates the new workflow using BESA Research 6.0 and BESA MRI 2.0 for optimized MEG spike analysis. For the related hands-on tutorial click here.

Former lectures on working with epilepsy data:

• BESA Practical Analysis and Imaging in Epilepsy (6.2 MB): This lecture demonstrates the new workflow in BESA Research 5.3 for practical and fast analysis of interictal and seizure activity in EEG and MEG.
• BESA Advanced Review and Imaging in Epilepsy (17.9 MB): This lecture provides another introduction to source analysis and imaging in epilepsy and the use of 3D mapping and source montages for EEG review.

For a practical introduction to the BESA software, please also refer to our hands-on tutorials.
