Memory requirements: Using multi-core 64-bit processors with large amounts of RAM may be essential for analyzing large datasets - 8 Gb or more RAM is recommended (also see the EEGLAB wiki tutorial for tips on minimizing memory usage).


It is usually available to students for a low cost. Note that all EEGLAB signal processing functions also runs on the free Matlab clone Octave although graphics cannot be displayed (this is nethertheless useful for high performance computing application - see the EEGLAB wiki for more details). EEGLAB extensions (in particular BCILAB and SIFT) also require Matlab 7.6 or later. For Mac OSX, older versions of Matlab might not be compatible with the operating system, so you might have to install the latest Matlab version. For earlier Matlab version, download legacy version EEGLAB v4.3 which will run on Matlab 5.3. Matlab version: The latest version of EEGLAB runs on Matlab 7.6 (2008b) or later under any operating system (Linux/Unix, Windows, Mac OSX).
