You may want to start with a basic [http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/research/eeg/eeg_intro.html introduction to EEG and MEG analysis].

Your life as a neuroimager will be much easier if you have a good grasp on Linux and Matlab.

Matlab:

You can look at [http://www.mathworks.com/academia/student_center/tutorials/launchpad.html tutorials and demos] offered by Matlab itself. This site also contains links to Matlab tutorials at some universities. You may want to start with the [http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/pdf_doc/matlab/getstart.pdf Getting Started] section.
The short introduction to [http://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/imaging/LearningMatlab Matlab for psychologists] from the University of York is also useful.

...you should start on our [http://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/meg/Beginners Beginners' Pages], with links to tutorials and more information on Matlab, Linux, Python etc.
