Making EEG/MEG Research More Accessible for Beginners – Challenges & Solutions

Hey everyone! After reaching out to the MNE-Python team for GSoC, I realized that EEG and MEG research is a vast and fascinating field. While I’m still new to it, I’m eager to learn more and contribute meaningfully. One of the suggestions I received was to work on improving accessibility in MNE-Python’s documentation.

This got me thinking—beyond just coding, what are the biggest challenges in EEG/MEG data analysis today? Are there accessibility or usability issues in existing tools that make it harder for newcomers to get started?

I’d love to hear your thoughts:
