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.
