The Brainstorm course will immediatly follow (Saturday, April 28, 2012) the MIT McGovern Institute Symposium on ‘Magnetoencephalography: Applications to Cognitive Neuroscience”, which will be held on Friday, April 27, 2012. | == 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. |

=== 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 hands-on training about MEG acquisition, data analysis, imaging and a hands-on Brainstorm course. We have received 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 to Brainstorm. |
This full-day course will feature presentations from Brainstorm users, sharing their results obtained using the software, followed by a full hands-on session using your own laptop. |
