Matlab

From Waisman Brain Imaging Wiki

MATLAB is a general-purpose mathematical analysis system and programming language. It is used heavily in the labs for all sorts of tasks, but primarily for EEG data processing and analysis; it is also underlies the SPM image analysis suite. MATLAB runs on Windows, OS X, Linux, and other UNIX-y platforms.

MATLAB versions can be confusing and you often need to be aware of which version you're using, as not all programs run correctly under all versions. Starting with version 6, MATLAB added new graphical and object-oriented features and also changed the syntax of several existing commands. As a result, many older programs stopped functioning correctly with version 6. In addition, just to make things more confusing, MATLAB switched their versioning numbers from 5, 6, 7... to 12 (aka 6), 13 (aka 6.5), 13 (aka 7) ... This has seemed to stabilize with version 14, which has no "old numbers" equivalent.

MATLAB is produced by The Mathworks (http://www.mathworks.com/).
