EEG Research Group Meetings

by Emma Holmes

Dear all, The first EEG research group meeting will take place on *Thursday 1st August * (2 weeks from today) at *12:15 - 1:15pm*. Paul Briley will be taking about his interesting work on 'EEG-adaptation'. These meetings will run as a lab meeting style and are open to anyone who has experience or an interest in EEG. The meetings will take place every other month, interspersed with the MEG research group meetings. Anyone interested in MEG may wish to attend the EEG meetings and vice versa, since the types of design and analyses overlap to a large extent. Hope to see you there! Best wishes, Emma ____________________________________________ Emma Holmes PhD Student Room B001b, Department of Psychology, University of York, Heslington, York, YO10 5DD, UK.
