Is there someway I can use the eeglab toolbox with matlab online?

Since the eeglab toolbox is free (and if I am not mistaken uses the signal processing toolbox which comes with the matlab online?) is there someway I could download the eeglab tool box on a computer and then use it with my matlab online account? (I don't want to use the standalone version of eeglab since it doesn't work as well)

Hello,

I was just wondering if you ever found the solution for this? I too would like to use eeglab with matlab online.

Thanks

Hello,

It's been a few years, I know. Any updates yet?

Thanks :)

I have gotten MATLAB online to open EEGLAB, but it is tricky. First, you would download EEGLAB from the Schwartz Center's website (searching in a web-browser for "Download EEGLAB" should lead you right there to the top result). Then you upload that entire folder to drive.matlab.com (once you've set up your MATLAB online account). Then, once it's uploaded, and you go to Matlab Online, matlab.mathworks.com, you should see the eeglab folder in your directory, and you can then type "eeglab" into the MATLAB command window, and it should load. You may need to make sure you're in that folder, first, but generally I've found it works.

But then it gets a little tricky. For example, while the EEGLAB GUI will indeed pop up once you type eeglab into the command window, if you try to USE the menu, not everything works as intended. Just loading a dataset, for example, in my experience hasn't worked. Instead, I have to call the functions directly through the command window. But luckily that's pretty easy. For example, once you have loaded the ".set"/".fdt" file pair for a dataset into MATLAB Drive, then you can just type:

EEG = pop_loadset('filename', the_filename_of_your_file, 'filepath', the_filepath_for_your_file); eeglab redraw

then it loads the dataset into the blue EEGLAB GUI and you can start doing things.

If you need to import araw EEG file from whatever manufacturer you recorded your data from, then you'd need to use the right import function, but it should work.

I'm having an issue with MATLAB online, unfortunately, where I can't get ERPLAB to load ERPsets. I can get the ERPLAB plug-in to install into EEGLAB and show up in the menu, but then it won't make the ERPsets show up in the menu. Hope that's helpful somehow

If you select "Get Add-ons" on the Home tab and search for "EEGLAB" you will find an option to install it as an add-on directly through MATLAB Online.
