Command-Line Tools Reference
MNE-CPP includes a comprehensive set of command-line tools for MEG/EEG data processing, BEM model creation, forward solution computation, and inverse estimation. These tools are C++ ports of the original MNE-C tools created by Matti Hämäläinen.
BEM Model Creation
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| mne_watershed_bem | Creates BEM surfaces using FreeSurfer's watershed algorithm |
| mne_flash_bem | Creates BEM surfaces using multi-echo FLASH MRI sequences |
| mne_surf2bem | Converts FreeSurfer surfaces and ASCII triangle files into BEM FIFF files |
| mne_setup_forward_model | Sets up the BEM for forward modeling |
MRI Setup
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| mne_setup_mri | Sets up FreeSurfer MRI data for MNE processing |
Forward and Inverse Computation
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| mne_forward_solution | Computes the MEG/EEG forward solution |
| mne_make_source_space | Creates cortical source spaces from FreeSurfer surfaces |
| mne_inverse_operator | Assembles a linear inverse operator from a forward solution and noise covariance |
| mne_compute_mne | Computes MNE/dSPM/sLORETA source estimates from evoked data |
| mne_compute_raw_inverse | Computes inverse solutions (MNE/dSPM/sLORETA) |
| mne_dipole_fit | Performs electric current dipole fitting |
Raw Data Processing
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| mne_process_raw | Batch processing of raw data: filtering, decimation, averaging, covariance estimation, SSP, and event detection |
