This document describes advances in automating the analysis of neural time series data, specifically EEG and MEG data. It discusses challenges with manual analysis methods, including lack of reproducibility and scalability. It then summarizes the author's contributions to improving automation and reproducibility through tools like a Brain Imaging Data Structure validator, a tutorial on group analysis methods, and a method called Autoreject for automatically rejecting artifact-contaminated trials in EEG/MEG data. The goal of this work is to develop fully automated and reproducible analysis methods that can handle large datasets.
