 ANT Users Meeting, Toronto, November 9 & 10, 2007 
 
Joined organization by
The Centre for Biological Timing & Cognition, University of Toronto
Department of Psychology, University of Toronto &
Advanced Neuro Technology (ANT)


This 2-day workshop focuses on the both the ASA and EEProbe toolboxes. The most practical issues for EEG/ERP research will be dealt with according to the program below, but the program allows for enough flexibility to address individual users' questions (if possible, bring your own notebook computer that runs Windows XP for ASA, or Linux/Mac OS X for EEProbe).

Meeting venue:
University of Toronto
Department of Psychology
Centre for Biological Timing & Cognition
100 St. George Street Rm570 (Sidney Smith Building)
