[Mne_analysis] MNELAB 0.1.0 - a GUI for MNE

Dear MNE community!

I've released an initial version of MNELAB - a graphical user interface (GUI) for MNE.

My main motivation to create MNELAB was to get more people to use MNE. On the one hand, people who are not comfortable with Python programming should find it easier to dive into EEG/MEG analysis with MNE. On the other hand, a GUI is sometimes more suitable (faster) for quick little tasks (such as inspecting the contents of EEG/MEG files, plotting raw data, viewing and editing annotations and events, exporting raw data to other file formats, and so on) than using the corresponding Python commands (even for seasoned Pythonistas).

If you are interested, give MNELAB a try. It is freely available at https://github.com/cbrnr/mnelab, and you can install it with:

pip install mnelab

Once installed, you can start MNELAB from the command line:

mnelab

Note that you need to have a working Python installation for this to work. If you don't have Python, I have an article on setting up Python for EEG/MEG analysis (https://cbrnr.github.io/2017/10/09/setting-up-python/) that you might want to check out.

If you try MNELAB, please note that many features from MNE are not available yet - this is still work in progress. There is not even a lot of documentation, but I hope that a dedicated website will be up soon. If you find any issues with MNELAB, please submit an issue on the GitHub project site: https://github.com/cbrnr/mnelab/issues

If you would like to contribute to MNELAB, please get in touch with me e.g. by opening an issue or a pull request.
