Brainstorm workshop survey: Biomag 2012

This was the fourth large-scale Brainstorm workshop. For the first time, we integrated presentations from experimented Brainstorm users. We also distributed a short survey to help us improving the structure and contents of those workshops, and getting general feedback about the software. This page presents the results of this survey.
