Installing the Mass Univariate Toolbox
The Mass Univariate Toolbox is simply a set of MATLAB functions. To use them, you simply need to: The sections below cover these steps in a bit more detail:
 * 1) Download the zip file
 * 2) Unzip it
 * 3) Put the folder of files someplace sensible (e.g., in your "MATLAB" directory)
 * 4) Add the folder to the set of "paths" MATLAB searches when trying to answer a function call

Download the zip file
You can download the zip file containing all the toolbox functions from: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/29274 The file will be called mass_uni_toolbox.zip.

Unzip the zip file
You should be able unzip the file by double clicking it or by using the UNIX command unzip. For example: >mkdir mass_uni_toolbox >mv mass_uni_toolbox.zip mass_uni_toolbox/. >cd mass_uni_toolbox/ >unzip mass_uni_toolbox.zip

Put the file someplace sensible
You can put your mass_uni_toolbox folder anywhere. It does not need to be in your EEGLAB or ERPLAB directories, but it's probably a good idea to put it in a folder with other MATLAB files and folders.

Add the folder to the set of "paths" MATLAB searches
An easy way to add your mass_univariate_toolbox folder to the set of paths MATLAB searches is to select the Set Path option from the MATLAB File menu on the MATLAB GUI Toolbar: You will then see the list of directories MATLAB currently searches. Select Add Folder: Then navigate to and select your mass_univariate_toolbox folder in the menu that pops up: Then click Open: Finally, click the Save button on the menu: Now your mass_univariate_toolbox folder should be part of your default set of MATLAB paths whenever you start MATLAB. To double check that this worked, enter the following into the MATLAB command line: >>which gui_erp MATLAB should respond by printing the path and filename of that function: /Users/dgroppe/Documents/MATLAB/mass_uni_toolbox/gui_erp.m An alternative way to add a directory to the set of paths MATLAB searches is by creating a script called startup.m in your home MATLAB directory and using the MATLAB function addpath.m. For more information on how this works see the following pages on the Mathworks website: Use whichever method you find easier.
 * startup.m
 * addpath.m

Updating the Mass Univariate Toolbox
From time-to-time we will update the toolbox to add new functionality or to fix bugs. To install a new version of the toolbox, simply delete your old mass_uni_toolbox directory and replace it with the new one.
