| ANT application workshop, Sept 21-22, 2006, Milan |
We have the pleasure to invite you to the: ANT Application Workshop held in Milan, Italy on 21 and 22 September. Organized by the IBFM Institute and ANT. It is now ten years ago that ANT was established as a spin-off company at the campus of Twente University in Enschede, Netherlands. Starting with the Advanced Source Analysis (ASA) software for MEG as an outcome of four years of PhD work, ANT has in the decade of its existence become a major supplier for neurodiagnostics and cognitive neuroscience. It has communications with hundreds of users world-wide and is involved in numerous research/development and collaboration projects. |  |
To celebrate this great achievement ANT has prospered the ANT Young Scientist Award. The winner of this award will receive 10.000,00 EUR and a 20% discount on all products of ANT and will be presented at this workshop. The workshop will be held in Milan, Italy at the Institute of Molecular Bioimaging and Physiology in Segrate (MI). In this workshop we would like to give you a first hands-on experience on all products ANT represents world wide, carry out studies on example data in small groups, and discuss your own data with other experienced users and developers of ANT. |  |
| If you would like to participate in this meeting please follow the links below for the workshop program and the registration form. Program for the Milan Workshop Registration form to the Milan Workshop Special thanks go out to Dr. Aberto Zani who has made it possible to arrange a computer lab for all participants where studies can be followed and data can be presented. Info on the institute and research of Dr. Zani and Dr. Mado-Proverbio: Electrophysiological imaging of visuo-cognitive functions The research conducted within the Lab focuses on the investigation of visuo-cognitive functions of the human brain carried out by means of the combined recording of reaction times, or other indexes of behavioral performance, and the event-related potentials (ERPs) of the brain with high-density electrode montages. The functionality of brain systems responsible for vision, visual perception, and visual selective information processing, as well as for the comprehension and representation of written language in mono- and multi-linguals, is investigated in the light of current theoretical models of cognitive neurosciences. A very good preparation for the workshop is the book Zani A & Proverbio AM. (Eds). The Cognitive Electrophysiology of Mind and Brain. (Foreword by Prof. Michael I. Posner), 2002. New York: Academic Press. book reference on Amazon ANT recommends this excellent reference work for anyone who is seriously involved in ERP research. Furthermore, as an affordable and good introduction on ERP signal analysis ANT recommends the following reference book: "An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique" by Steven J. Luck (2005, MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts) book reference During the workshop, participants can purchase this book at the discount price of € 25,- EUR. |

Hotel information Because some people who will be attending the workshop may not be as farmiliar with Milan as others we have some travel information for you that could be quite usefull.The workshop will be held in the IBFM Institute (LITA Building) via F.lli Cervi, 93 20090 Segrate (Milano) Italia Tel.: +39-02-50330312 Fax: +39-02-50330313 Some Hotels near the Workshop Hotel Gamma Hotel Lombardia Hotel Catalani Hotel Etrusco Hotel Loreto Please make sure that you book your Hotel accomodation soon (if not immidiatly). Milan is a very busy Metropol and therefore the availability of Hotel rooms is quite low. | ||
