[BIC-announce] EEG & MEG software training session in Montreal (Dec 06)

[Sylvain Baillet, Dr]

Dear All:

Please find below an announcement for an upcoming (Dec 06) training session of Brainstorm: a major open-source academic software application developed in part at The Neuro (6,700 registered downloads), dedicated to advanced EEG and MEG data analysis, with MRI integration.

Visit http://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm/WorkshopNeuro2012 for more information and registration.

Please forward this post to your colleagues; thank you.

Best wishes - Sylvain.

Workshop program

Requirements

The participants are required to bring a laptop. In order to make the afternoon session as efficient as possible, we ask all the attendees to download, install and test the software and sample dataset on their laptops prior to the workshop. Please read carfully the following instructions:
How to prepare your laptop for the training


08:00-09:00: Laptop clinic

• Bring your laptop at this clinic if you are not sure you were succesful in installing the material for the training session
09:00-9:45: Brainstorm overview

• Software architecture
• Typical data workflow
09:45-11:00: Hands-on training begins

• Database explorer
• Reviewing continuous recordings
• Artifact detection and correction
11:00-11:15: Coffee break

11:15-13:00: Hands-on training

• Filtering and epoching
• Averaging, observation of a typical somato-sensory evoked response
• Head modeling, cortical source reconstruction
13:00-14:00: Lunch break

14:00-18:00: Hands-on training resumes (coffee & refreshments served)

• Definition of ROIs, tracking the processing of the sensory information millisecond by millisecond at the cortex level
• Frequency and time-frequency analysis
• Demo of the new functional connectivity tools
• Group analysis
• Anatomical atlases
• Advanced scripting interface
• Other topics can be discussed depending on the audience specific requests
