purposes. Small samples from these data are also used in the MNE-Python test suite which guarantees reproducibility of results across systems and environments, as well as the absence of regression when new code is contributed. This sample dataset can also serve as a standard validation dataset for M/EEG methods, hence favoring reproducibility of results. For the same purpose, MNE-Python facilitates easy access to the MEGSIM datasets (Aine et al., 2012) that include both experimental and simulated MEG data.
