* Apologies for multiple postings; for diffusion please *

Dear All:

The MEG team at the McConnell Brian Imaging Centre (MNI, McGill) is offering a unique training opportunity for staff, students and trainees Mar 16-20, 2015.

Mar 16 is a full day crash course covering:
Principles and foundations (physics, physiology, instrumentation and signal formation, neural oscillations, with special guest Prof Karim Jerbi, Psychology University of Montreal), typical paradigm designs, and a special emphasis on time series analysis and imaging (event-related responses, spectral and time-frequency decompositions, functional connectivity)

Mar 17-20 are hands-on, in small groups (3 per group, 4 groups max)
Day 2: Hands-on practical paradigm design: design your pilot study in small groups
Day 3: Hands-on data collection: collect your own data
Day 4: Hands-on analysis of collected data using Brainstorm (including software training)
Day 5: Advanced data analysis continues, with group presentations and data competition (with a prize!): what have we learned?

Registration can be for the whole week (note: 12 seats only) or just for the full-day course on Mar 16. Registration deadline: Feb 20, 2015.

More MEG!

Course and training objectives

  *   ●  To introduce the foundations of MEG (and EEG) as a brain imaging technique

  *   ●  To provide background for MEG imaging methods, with an emphasis on neural

oscillations, cross-frequency coupling and their role in functional connectivity

  *   ●  To offer instruction in experimental design, data collection and advanced analysis

Training highlights

  *   ●  Individualized training for designing an experiment

  *   ●  Hands-on data collection and analysis

  *   ●  Brainstorm software training

  *   ●  Introduction to advanced analysis

  *   ●  Work in small break-out groups (3 people /group) with one-on-one assistance from experts

Registration deadline: Feb. 20th 2015
