Releases: ucdavis/erplab
ERPLAB 12.00: EStudio
ERPLAB Toolbox is a free, open-source Matlab package for analyzing ERP data. It is tightly integrated with EEGLAB Toolbox, extending EEGLAB’s capabilities to provide robust, industrial-strength tools for ERP processing, visualization, and analysis. We have two versions: ERPLAB Studio is a standalone package that provides an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical user interface. ERPLAB Classic is a plugin that runs inside the EEGLAB graphical user interface.

Release Notes
ERPLAB v12.00 Release Notes
ERPLAB Studio now includes the Pattern Classification tab. This makes use of the same underlying Pattern Classification (decoding) tools as in ERPLAB Classic, but with a more user-friendly GUI. Changes also include:
The ability to create BESTsets in the EEG tab
The ability to plot multiple MVPC sets at the same time

Release Notes
ERPLAB v11.03 Release Notes
ERPLAB can now be accessed from two different user interfaces:
- ERPLAB Classic (our original software, which operates as an EEGLAB plugin)
- ERPLAB Studio (a standalone application that provides a more user-friendly GUI)
ERPLAB Studio makes use of the same underlying code as EEGLAB and ERPLAB Classic. It is essentially a different user interface for the same functions. You will therefore get identical results with ERPLAB Studio and ERPLAB Classic, and scripting is the same for both packages. But ERPLAB Studio is much easier to use.
Click here for a 2-minute video overview of ERPLAB Studio.
The most commonly used EEGLAB functions are available from within ERPLAB Studio. For example, you can import EEG data into ERPLAB Studio, filter the EEG, apply ICA for artifact correction, etc. If you need an EEGLAB function that is not implemented within ERPLAB Studio, you can apply that function using the EEGLAB GUI or a script.
If you are already familiar with ERPLAB, you can rapidly learn how to use ERPLAB Studio with our Transition Guide. If you are new to ERPLAB, please go through the ERPLAB Studio Tutorial before attempting to process your own data. Once you understand the basics of ERPLAB Studio, you can get detailed information about the individual processing steps in the ERPLAB Studio Manual.

To install ERPLAB v10.11, download the zip file (linked above), unzip and place the folder in the 'plugins' folder of your existing EEGLAB installation (e.g. /Users/Steve/Documents/MATLAB/eeglab2023_1/plugins/erplab/). More installation help can be found here. If you are new to ERPLAB, we strongly recommend that you go through the ERPLAB Tutorial before trying to use ERPLAB with your own data.
To run ERPLAB, ensure that the correct EEGLAB folder is in your current Matlab path, and run eeglab as a command from the Matlab Command Window. Find our tutorial here.
We encourage most users to use this latest major version.
Compatibility and Required Toolboxes
We anticipate that ERPLAB will work with most recent OSs, Matlab versions and EEGLAB versions.
- The Matlab Signal Processing Toolbox is required.
- EEGLAB v2021 or later is almost always necessary.
However, in order to use the latest MVPC routines (see here), Matlab versions and EEGLAB versions must be recent. In addition, some MATLAB toolboxes are required.
- Matlab 2020b + is REQUIRED for MVPC routines.
- EEGLAB 2023.1 + is REQUIRED for MVPC routines.
- The Matlab Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox
- The Matlab Parallel Processing Toolbox (recommended)

Release Notes
ERPLAB v8.10 Release Notes
Now includes:
Matlab R2020a compatible - minor EEGLAB menu display bug fixed
Standard Error bug fixed.
Warns if old standard error is used.
Default SEM transparency on ERP plots is 0.7, rather than 0
The Advanced EventList GUI is now viewable on more screens.
We warn and offer help if Signal Processing Toolbox is missing.
ERPLAB v8.02 Release Notes
ERPLAB v8.02 adds a colormap to help visualize the Data Quality Table info
ERPLAB v8.01 Release Notes
ERPLAB v8.01 adds binorgEEG functions to v8.0
ERPLAB v8.0 Release Notes
With ERPLAB v8.0, we include new tools for assessing measures of Data Quality Metrics in EEG ERP data.
- Data Quality Metrics
- The ERP Averager will calculate these Data Quality Metrics by default
- A new submenu in the ERPLAB menu ('Data Quality options') allows access from the EEGLAB-ERPLAB GUI.
- A new table interface to show all the data quality information from an ERP set with
DQ_Table_GUI(ERP)or through the above GUI menu option. - These data quality metrics can be summarized on the Command Window, saved to Mat structure or exported to Excel, or plotted in the above interactive table.
- The data quality information and metadata is stored in a new structure, ERP.dataquality
- New options for calculating, viewing, and saving, frequency spectra, in the
compute_fourier(EEG)function
-
Various bugfixes

ERPLAB v8.02 - Data Quality Table colormap
ERPLAB v8.02 adds a colormap to help visualize the Data Quality Table info
ERPLAB v8.01 adds binorgEEG functions to v8.0
ERPLAB Toolbox is a free, open-source Matlab package for analyzing ERP data. It is tightly integrated with EEGLAB Toolbox, extending EEGLAB’s capabilities to provide robust, industrial-strength tools for ERP processing, visualization, and analysis. A graphical user interface makes it easy for beginners to learn, and Matlab scripting provides enormous power for intermediate and advanced users.
ERPLAB v8.02
To install ERPLAB v8.01, download the zip file (linked above), unzip and place the folder in the 'plugins' folder of your existing EEGLAB installation (e.g. /Users/Steve/Documents/MATLAB/eeglab2019_1/plugins/erplab/). More installation help can be found here.
To run ERPLAB, ensure that the correct EEGLAB folder is in your current Matlab path, and run eeglab as a command from the Matlab Command Window. Find our tutorial here.
We encourage most users to use this latest major version.
ERPLAB compatibility
We anticipate that ERPLAB will work with most recent OSs, Matlab versions and EEGLAB versions.
- The Matlab Signal Processing Toolbox is required
- Entering in the command
verin the Command Window will produce a list of installed toolboxes. Check this list to see whether the Signal Processing Toolbox is installed
- Entering in the command
- EEGLAB v12 or later is recommended.
