EEG and fMRI Analysis with EEGLab and SPM

September 16 - 18, 2013

Venue:

Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg
Lehmkuhlenbusch 4

Department of Psychology, University of Oldenburg 

Aim of this workshop is to introduce EEGLAB and SPM to those considering its use in their cognitive neuroscience research. Selected state-of-the art lectures on event-related techniques, advanced analysis methods, and event-related brain oscillations will be followed by hands-on sessions. For the hands-on sessions the group will be split with a focus on EEG-related and fMRI-related techniques, respectively. Step-by-step tutorials will guide those new to the Matlab programming environment from getting-started to a more thorough signal processing level. Participants will be provided with computers, software and example datasets on site. During the hands-on sessions participants will be supported by a team of experienced helpers.  An additional poster session will enable presentation of own data. 

Faculty will include: Christiane Thiel, Christoph Herrmann, Cornelia Kranczioch, Jeremy Thorne, Carsten Giessing, Pascale Sandmann, Thomas Breckel, Sebastian Puschmann, Tina Weis, Maarten De Vos, Lingchia Chen and Stefan Debener. 

The workshop is limited to 35 participants. Participation fees include lunch, coffee, refreshments, dinner, and the welcome reception.

Deadline for the application: July 30, 2013
