[ANNOUNCEMENT] YNiC Beamformer Training Session

Hi all, YNiC are pleased to announce our first formal all-day training session. This will take place on Friday 29th September at YNiC and the subject will be MEG Analysis using Beamforming. This will coincide with our general release of the YNiC Beamforming tools which some users have been beta-testing in the past few weeks. The timetable is as follows: ============================================================================= 0900-0915 Coffee and brief welcome talk 0915-1000 Talk: Introduction to Beamforming 1000-1030 Demo: How to use Beamforming at YNiC (Demonstration data) 1030-1045 Coffee break 1045-1130 Workshop: Using the Beamformer 1130-1215 Talk: Common pitfalls in MEG data analysis 1215-1300 LUNCH: (Sandwich buffet will be provided) 1300-1345 Talk and discussion: Review of results on test data 1345-1430 Talk: Why is nothing working? How to troubleshoot 1430-1445 Coffee break 1445-1530 Talk: Virtual electrodes 1530-1630 Workshop: Using virtual electrodes and examining your own data ============================================================================= To make sure that people get the most out of this training session, there will be a limit of 25 participants. Due to this training session, the YNiC Open Plan will be closed all day on the 29th to those not attending the training session. MEG will be undergoing planned maintenance that day and so will also be closed (a further announcement about this will follow soon). As this is the first YNiC training session, we will be providing lunch for the course attendees to celebrate the first of what we hope will be many such courses. To register for this course please email training(a)ynic.york.ac.uk with your name and email address. Registration will close when we have 25 people or on Friday 22nd September (although we expect places to fill up quickly). Finally, we will soon be running a poll on the YNiC website to find out the best times to run future training courses. Again, we will make an announcement about this soon.
