SimBio, which consists of NeuroFEM and IPM is a "University-code". It was developed by researchers to answer questions at hand and not by professional software developers. Using the package on own data or even on our example data sets is going to take significant effort for which we usually cannot provide support. Support can be provided, however, within a framework of a joined research collaboration.
Simbio was originally developed on the basis of C++ and Fortran routines. The source code is publicly available and can be downloaded via sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/neurofem-simbio).
Enthusiastic and gifted developers are always invited to become members of the developers group - please, get in contact with both Hermann Sonntag and Carsten Wolters (Email: hsonntag 'at' cbs.mpg.de and carsten.wolters 'at' uni-muenster.de).
Since recently, a matlab based version is being developed as integrated part of the fieldtrip toolbox (http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/reference/ft_prepare_headmodel?s[]=simbio). Forward modeling of EEG data using the NeuroFEM pipeline is already possible - for a documentation see http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/development/simbio. Forward modeling of MEG data, however, is pending until further funding.
There is a SimBio mailing list: simbio-list@tu-ilmenau.de.
To subscribe simply send a request to simbio-list-owner@tu-ilmenau.de.
Finally, there are a few test data sets available for download (5.4 GB currently). This data was used for previous publications. The description of the data is provided by the publications only. Please get in contact with Carsten Wolters for further details (Email: carsten.wolters 'at' uni-muenster.de).
