Academic Software Applications for Electromagnetic Brain Mapping Using
MEG and EEG
Call for Papers

The field of Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and Electroencephalography
(EEG) source imaging is maturing rapidly. This scientific growth is
accompanied by a variety of complementary and/or concurrent software
solutions from the academic world.

The objective of this CIN Special Issue is to help the neuroimaging
obtain an overview of state-of-the-art academic software applications
for MEG/EEG data analysis, how they differ and interact, and of
upcoming methodological trends and technical developments; the topics
to be covered include, but are not limited to, academic software
solutions for:

MEG and EEG data acquisition
Data preprocessing, that is, filtering, artifact detection, rejection
or correction, trial sorting, averaging
Segmentation and geometrical modeling of head tissues
Computational electromagnetics for MEG/EEG forward modeling
MEG/EEG source analysis
Statistical appraisal and inference: confidence intervals on measures
and hypothesis testing
Identification and evaluation of evoked, induced event-related brain
responses and ongoing brain activity
Time-frequency decompositions, advanced spectral analysis, time series
modeling
Estimation of functional and effective connectivity
Authors should provide detailed information regarding their software
toolbox or application by addressing the following topics: open source
software (yes/no), i/o file formats available, operating system,
Matlab required (yes/no), interoperability with other software, and so
forth.

Further, the software needs to be available for download free of
charge at the time of manuscript submission, with sufficient
documentation provided online to be able to reproduce the data
analysis featured in the manuscript.

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's
Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/cin/guidelines.html
. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their
complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/
  according to the following timetable:

Manuscript Due	September 1, 2010
First Round of Reviews	December 1, 2010
Publication Date	March 1, 2011
