Hi,


we are pleased to announce the new 0.7 release of MNE-python and by
the same occasion the recently published paper on MNE:


A. Gramfort, M. Luessi, E. Larson, D. Engemann, D. Strohmeier, C.
Brodbeck, L. Parkkonen, M. Hämäläinen, MNE software for processing MEG
and EEG data, NeuroImage, 2013, ISSN 1053-8119


Sadly the paper on MNE-Python is still under revision...


This release comes as usual with a lot of new features and usability
improvements thanks to our ever growing number of contributors.


A few highlights:


- Frequency and Time-Frequency Beamforming methods (DICS, 5d-Beamformer)

- Realtime analysis support

- New decoding module (Common Spatial Patterns, SVMs, ...)

- BEM forward modeling is now possible in Python

- Source space generation is now possible in Python

- GUI for MEG/MRI coregistration (cf. slide show http://goo.gl/Ys01yb)

- New function for decimating head surfaces for coregistration

- Functions for reading EEG data (EDF+, BDF, BrainVision)

- Automatic QRS threshold selection for ECG events detection

- Much more efficient and fast ICA computation

- The SPM face demo dataset is now available from within MNE-Python


The full list of the improvements coming in this release is at
