Dear Colleague,

 

Please circulate on relevant platforms and forward to interested persons.

 

The Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics is pleased to announce the following Summer Short Course:

 

Reading Short Course on Neuroscience Methods

 

The course will be held

June 13 to 16, 2017 at the University of Reading, UK.

 

This four-day course provides exposure to contemporary neuroimaging techniques, including empirical design for electroencephalographic, and functional magnetic resonance brain imaging (EEG and fMRI, when recorded separately and simultaneously), as well as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Demonstration and training components draw on existing social neuroscience data from emotional regulation, language, decision making and learning and memory paradigms. Students are expected to have some experience in empirical research design but no prior knowledge of Cognitive Neuroscience is assumed.  Limited hands-on experience with EEG/ERP, fMRI and combined EEG/fMRI techniques is provided as well as a critical survey of the associated analytic approaches.

 

Target group: post-graduate students at the PhD level in the Humanities and Social Sciences who are interested in a critical understanding of how Cognitive Neuroscience methods are used, or who are interested in incorporating Cognitive Neuroscience approaches or results in their own work.

Registration fee: £60 (includes 4 lunches and 2 daily coffee breaks).

There are 30 places.  Here are some of the (unelicited) comments by last year’s participants: 

“It was a great experience and wonderful training I had on new topics I find potentially useful for my study. Again, thank you very very much for the incredible workshop.”

“It was an excellent week in Reading - I learned so much and really appreciated the friendly atmosphere of our group. A big thank you to the team at CINN.”

“I truly enjoyed the course and found it very mind-stimulating and motivating the inspiration for new studies - thank you for help in organizing the course.”

“First of all thanks again for the amazing time at the course at CINN. I had a great experience indeed! It was very well organised and you guys took good care of us all!”

 

Please let me know if you have any questions at all.

 

With kind regards
