Data grouping tool

---

This tool is launched through the options panel of the Analysis tab of the umIToolbox app. The Data grouping tool provides an graphical interface that allows the creation of experimental groups. Once the groups are created, they can be saved to a .mat file for later use.

This documentation provides a description of the elements from the tool's interface. Check the tutorial on how to create groups for a step-by-step procedure.
