Dear Marijin,

OK. We have the MEG data related with visual task. By comparing data of
 prestimulus and poststimulus, we want to find focal functional labels
related with visual cognitive process.
And then we want to make network analysis between the identified regions of
interest.


Best wishes,
Qunxi Dong
