This protocol presents PIPEMAT-RS, a standardized MATLAB-based preprocessing pipeline for resting-state EEG data. It ensures artifact removal, improves signal quality, and enhances data reproducibility across studies. The pipeline automates key preprocessing steps, including filtering, independent component analysis (ICA), and artifact classification, facilitating consistent and reliable EEG analysis for neurophysiological research.
