Newbie to BIAC, so please forgive.

Is there a manual for the BIAC MATLAB software add-on? I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to set it up on my local MATLAB box.

Also, is there a general tutorial somewhere BIAC .bxh and other BIAC-specific procedures?

Thanks,
Jeff

Nevermind. I think I worked through the installation problems.

Though, it still would be nice if there were a BIAC manual to which one could refer every once in a while.

Jeff,

There is a BIAC manual at:
\\Gall\Docs\PDF Files\Manuals\BIAC Manual.doc

It is a number of years old, though it may still provide you with at least a starting point. That said, I've also found past topics in the forums to be relatively helpful, particulary with respect to common software configuration/usage problems.

Jeff,

In addition to the doc that Amin referenced, there is some BXH documentation available at http://www.biac.duke.edu/research/bxh/

There are plans afoot to make more documentation available via an XML-based documentation system, but this is only starting to gather steam. But this will enable us in the future to automatically generate web-based and dead-tree-based versions of existing documentation.

Please post if you have any questions on specific tools or BIAC practices, we will do our best to answer them.

The BIAC manual that Amin referenced in the post above has some useful overview information, but most of the specific information about data flow is now obsolete. This is because BIAC software engineers have focused upon increasing automation in data transfer, QA procedures, and preprocessing. Documenting this moving target has been difficult.

I would urge you to consider attending the BIAC User Group (BUG)meetings that are held most Mondays at 11:00 AM. You can write to Ershela Sims if you wish to be added to the BUG talk mailing list. In this past year, the BUG talks included many tutorials on new data analysis procedures.

You may also consider auditing our fall course (Neuro 381) in which Scott Huettel and other BIAC faculty formally teach acquisition and analysis methods. You can find the syllabus for this course at http://www.biac.duke.edu/education/. A partial list of BIAC Software Documentation is also available on this webpage.

Finally, up-to-the-moment help and documentation can be found in these forums.
