Dear all,

 

There are still a few places available on our annual SPM course for MEG/EEG which will take place this year from Monday May 11 to Wednesday May 13 2015


Hosted by University College London, the course will be held at Queen Square, a very central location in London (UK).


The course will present instruction on the analysis of MEG and EEG data. The first two days will combine theoretical presentations with practical demonstrations of the different data analysis methods implemented in SPM. On the last day participants will have the opportunity to work on SPM tutorial data sets under the supervision of the course faculty. We also invite students to bring their own data for analysis.

 

The course is suitable for both beginners and more advanced users. The topics that will be covered range from pre-processing and statistical analysis to source localization and dynamic causal modelling. The program is listed below.


Registration is now open. We offer a reduced rate when attending both the MEG/EEG course and the fMRI course during the second half of the week. For full details of both courses see 'Statistical Parametric Mapping short courses' at  http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ion/courses-viewer where you can also register.


Available places are limited so please register as early as possible if you would like to attend!
