Delmenhorst, May 24 - 25, 2012

Venue

Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg
Lehmkuhlenbusch 4
27753 Delmenhorst

Organizers

Dr. Maarten de Vos and Prof. Dr. Stefan Debener,
Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg

Call for Applications

Application Procedure

We are glad to announce a workshop focusing on single trials in EEG and fMRI. During the workshop, talks and talking posters will be held discussing state-of-the-art methods related to the reliable estimation of single trials and its relevance for EEG-fMRI integration. We envision insights from innovative single trial estimation, namely BCI.

Host institution and conference venue is Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (www.h-w-k.de).

Due to the limited number of places, priority will be given to people working in the field. Participation fee is 28 euro. Participants have the opportunity to present own research as a poster if interested (please indicate the poster title with your application).

Application forms can be downloaded on this website. Interested participants are welcome to send the application to eeg-fmri[at]uni-oldenburg.de. .

Application deadline: April 15, 2012!
