{{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 [[Tutorials|online documentation]] and support through [[http://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums|our forum]] but there is nothing better than a course to make your learning curve steeper.<<BR>>

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 your started locally.

== Past Brainstorm courses ==
=== Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University (November 19, 2011) ===
70 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.

The meeting was initiated by the [[http://www.canada-meg-consortium.org|Canada MEG Consortium]].
