2-day hands-on Workshop on EEG/ERP data analysis at McGill in Montreal

Organized by Centre for Research on Language Mind and Brain (NBL-axis) and ANT.

Several research groups throughout Canada work with ANT products. This ANT workshop focuses on the EEProbe toolbox and provides a brief introduction to ANT's Advanced Source Analysis package ASA. Signal processing as well as practical issues for EEG/ERP research will be dealt with according to the program below, but users are encouraged to bring their own data. Approximately 35 users will participate actively in this 2 day training. Hands-on experience with EEProbe and ASA will be provided on a limited number of computers, therefore we urge you to bring your own laptop as well. EEProbe is the focus of the program, and runs only on Linux or Apple Mac (PPC G4 chip, or the new Intel Core Duo MacBook). We will provide temporary licenses for EEProbe for those that need it.

The complete program is available here.
