Human Brain Mapping Conference 2008, Melbourne, Australia  ANT would like to thank everyone that participated in the ANT & Medilink reception held on June 17th during the Human Brain Mapping conference. After a short introduction of ANT by Frank Zanow, this reception became a great opportunity to meet new faces and discuss various topics including the European soccer tournament, our Neuronavigaton system (Visor), and our solutions for EEG/MRI combined recordings. We enjoyed meeting all of you during this event! All of your questions were appreciated and we are looking forward to future collaborations. We hope to meet you again during the next Human Brain Mapping conference in San Francisco or at any of the below mentioned conferences. Again, thank you for joining us! If you have any further questions, or are interested in a demonstration of one of our systems, please email us at sales@ant-neuro.com |
ASA Workshop, Gent, Belgium May 30th an ASA user meeting was held in Gent, Belgium. This workshop was organized in collaboration with Prof. L. Boullart (University of Gent), Prof. P. Santens (University Hospital Gent) and Dr. G. Otte (Psychiatric Center P.C. Guislain in Gent). Frank Zanow, Manon Boeschoten and Jaap van der Spek of ANT gave the presentations and led the hands-on sessions. Around 25 people were present at the meeting, from various countries.The topics that were covered in this workshop were: ASA recording and ERP analysis, source reconstruction in ASA, wavelet analysis in ASA and setting up and processing ERP studies in Experiment Manager. Furthermore, special topics were BCI / Neurofeedback as well as exporting data from within Cognitrace to ASA or Experiment Manager, in order to either analyze the data on a single patient basis or for the entire group of patient data. We would like to thank all participants for attending and we hope to organize a similar workshop in the nearby future. |
Why ANT? - Testimonial from ANT user Let the customers speak - Under this motto, we would like to give the word to customers of ANT in this newsletter column. We sincerely hope that this will help readers in the decision-making process and may stir some ideas when it comes to possible cooperation with ANT."The Cognitive Neuroscience Group of Amsterdam is using TMS to investigate the nature of conscious visual perception. How does it work? How long does the brain take to process stimuli up to a level of consciousness? What can the brain do without conscious awareness? The use of fMRI, EEG/MEG and TMS makes it possible to link neural activity to consciousness- related processes. But how can these neural correlates of consciousness be investigated? Our experiments focuses on establishing what processes and what areas are (and what areas are not) necessary for the emergence of visual awareness. In order to unravel the mysteries of visual awareness we wanted to use an exciting combination of TMS and EEG. For the placement of the coil and to know how and where you are stimulating we needed a neuronavigation system in combination with a forward field calculation. With this wish list, ANT almost automatically caught our eye. I find the company very dynamic, helpful, but most important ANT has affinity for research! The people at ANT (Frank, Robin, Michiel, Maarten, Jaap, Menno, Stephan and all the others) are always ready to help and eager to find new solutions for the problems we encounter in research."
