+Braindecode
+===========
+
+Braindecode is an open-source Python toolbox for decoding raw electrophysiological brain
+data with deep learning models. It includes dataset fetchers, data preprocessing and
+visualization tools, as well as implementations of several deep learning
+architectures and data augmentations for analysis of EEG, ECoG and MEG.
+
+For neuroscientists who want to work with deep learning and
+deep learning researchers who want to work with neurophysiological data.
+
+
+Installation Braindecode
+========================
+
+1. Install pytorch from http://pytorch.org/ (you don't need to install torchvision).
+
+2. If you want to download EEG datasets from `MOABB <https://github.com/NeuroTechX/moabb>`_, install it:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  pip install moabb
+
+3. Install latest release of braindecode via pip:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  pip install braindecode
+
+If you want to install the latest development version of braindecode, please refer to `contributing page <https://github.com/braindecode/braindecode/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md>`__
+
+
+Documentation
+=============
+
+Documentation is online under https://braindecode.org, both in the stable and dev versions.
+
+
+Contributing to Braindecode
+===========================
+
+Guidelines for contributing to the library can be found on the braindecode github:
