Wild to hear. At the time, almost everybody in the field used it. The then-dominant fMRI package (SPM) and EEG/MEG package (Fieldtrip) were both open-source Matlab. (I think I knew one prof who used BrainVoyager, and that's because he hired a former BV employee as an RA.)

"then-dominant", are you sure?
