{{attachment:brainstormMITbanner.jpg||align="middle"}} = Brainstorm courses = {{attachment:brainstorm_training.png||width="150px",align="right"}} The best way to learn how to use Brainstorm, like any other academic software, is to benefit from local experts. However, you may be the first one in your institution to consider using Brainstorm for your research. We are happy to provide comprehensive online documentation and support through our forum but there is nothing better than a course to make your learning curve steeper.<
> We organize courses for institutions who are willing to develop a user community for Brainstorm. Please [[http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/PeopleFaculty/BailletSylvain|contact us]] to get you started locally. == Upcoming Brainstorm courses == All courses feature intensive hands-on practice of Brainstorm. Attendees bring their own laptops and go through most software features in a step-by-step, interactive way, with the assistance of at least two Brainstorm experts. No Matlab license required, runs on all operating systems! Our philosophy is to offer a personal first experience with using Brainstorm, that attendees will be able to keep alive on their laptops and share when back to their home institution. See links to reports from attendees to our previous courses below. === Osaka, Japan: May 31, 2014 === <)>> '''Purpose''': Full-day training session following the 29th Annual Meeting of Japan Biomagnetism and Bioelectromagnetics Society.<

>'''Participants''': 75 75 participants from around Canada gathered at the Montreal Neurological Institute (Nov 17-19, 2011) for a series of lectures and practical training on MEG acquisition, data analysis, imaging and a hands-on Brainstorm course. We have received [[http://www.canada-meg-consortium.org/EN/WorkshopPictures|great and positive feedback]] from our attendees, and we are glad the meeting has met its primary objectives of providing scientists with a first technical exposure to time-resolved brain exploration and imaging with MEG and Brainstorm.
