The Lossless Pipeline: Setup

You will need a fairly recent version of MATLAB (procedure tested on MATLAB 2012b and newer versions). For detailed installation instructions, click here.

This tutorial requires the git package. You likely already have it natively installed with your system. To check if you have git, open a terminal window and type:
```
  >> git --version
```
If you do not have git, contact your system administrator for installation help.

The Face13 tutorial dataset can be downloaded from this google drive. Download the sourcedata folder from the drive. This folder contains the raw EEG data, standard montages that are used during initialization, and task information.
To run through this Lossless pipeline tutorial, the data needs to be initialized and in the BIDS standard. The steps to prepare data for running through the pipeline can be found in the BIDS-EEG-EEGLAB tutorial. The BIDS-EEG-EEGLAB tutorial needs to be completed prior to this Lossless tutorial.

You will need access to a remote cluster to run data files through the pipeline. The Lossless pipeline is optimized to run on Compute Canada clusters. Information on setting up a Compute Canada account can be found here.
