Create a symbolic link to you raw data on the server

>> cd /neurospin/meg/meg_tmp/

>> mkdir your_folder

DO NOT copy raw data files into your_folder, create a symbolic link to it instead, by using the command "ln -s".

>>ln -s /neurospin/acquisition/neuromag/data/your_protocol_folder/your_subject_folder/date/raw_filename.fif

/neurospin/meg/meg_tmp/your_folder/new_raw_filename.fif

The symbolic link to your file will look like this:

>>new_raw_filename.fif@

You can apply all analysis processing steps using those links instead of filenames; output files from your should be saved in /neurospin/meg/meg_tmp/your_folder.

TIP: to create a link to all .fif files in a directory at once:

Type csh to enter the C-shell
then enter the following commands to create a simple loop (hit <return> after each line):

foreach i (/neurospin/acquisition/neuromag/data/[protocol]/[subject]/[date]/*.fif)
ln -s $i
end
