In place of the Feindel Brain Imaging Lecture on May 25th, 10 BIC members
will give short presentations of their research in preparation for summer
conferences. Audience members will vote on their favourite presentations,
and the two winners will receive a BIC Coffee Travel Fund Award, thanks to
everyone at the MNI who has availed themselves of the coffee machine this
year. In addition, BIC t-shirts will be available at the special price of
$15 for the event (cash only), with the proceeds added to the Travel Fund
Awards being given out on the day.

the winners, so please join us for this rapid-fire data blitz and choose
where your coffee money goes!
