ABSTRACT=<p>A new paradigm for human brain imaging, <italic>mobile brain/body imaging</italic> (MoBI), involves synchronous collection of human brain activity (via electroencephalography, EEG) and behavior (via body motion capture, eye tracking, etc.), plus environmental events (scene and event recording) to study joint brain/body dynamics supporting natural human cognition supporting performance of naturally motivated human actions and interactions in 3-D environments (Makeig et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">2009</xref>). Processing complex, concurrent, multi-modal, multi-rate data streams requires a signal-processing environment quite different from one designed to process single-modality time series data. Here we describe MoBILAB (more details available at <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/MoBILAB" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/MoBILAB</ext-link>), an open source, cross platform toolbox running on MATLAB (The Mathworks, Inc.) that supports analysis and visualization of any mixture of synchronously recorded brain, behavioral, and environmental time series plus time-marked event stream data. MoBILAB can serve as a pre-processing environment for adding behavioral and other event markers to EEG data for further processing, and/or as a development platform for expanded analysis of simultaneously recorded data streams.</p>
