HiBoP is an application dedicated to the visualization of intracranial brain recordings such as intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG), cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEP) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This software is developped using Unity, C# and C++ for Windows, Mac and Linux.
These instructions will allow you to run HiBoP on your computer. Once it is running, you can take a look at the tutorial.
Unzip the zip file and execute HiBoP.exe.
Unzip the zip file to a target directory. Then, you need to give execution rights to the executable, and execute HiBoP.x86_64.
cd <HIBOP_DIR>
chmod 755 ./HiBoP.x86_64
./HiBoP.x86_64
Unzip the zip file to a target directory. Then, you need to give execution rights to the executable, remove external attributes, and execute HiBoP.app.
cd <HIBOP_DIR>
chmod -R 755 HiBoP.app
xattr -rc HiBoP.app
