Aim

The aim of megcommunity.org is to promote communication between MEG researchers and present the community to other scientists and clinicians. From an organizational perspective the site lists jobs, meetings and workshops. From a technical perspective we provide information/links on analysis tools, hardware and new technological developments. With respect to education we collect slides and presentations from recent courses. You are most welcome to contribute matertials, slides and links at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Currently we are developing a  forum to highlight recent published research.

The site is non-commercial and maintained by an international set of editors. If you have suggestions for improving the site, please do not hesitate contacting us.

Biomag2012 analysis competition - distributed representations

   The decoding of mental states and neuronal representations from brain imaging data is a research field in rapid development. These decoding approaches have a great potential in MEG research where dataare recorded from hundreds of sensors with a millisecond time resolution. In particular cognitive neuroscience could benefit from further development of decoding approaches in order to identify representational specific brain activity.

  The aims of the competition is to:

  • Promote the development and application of new multivariate analysis techniques for decoding of brain activity
  • Make the audience aware of novel approaches
  • Elucidate the pros and cons of different the techniques
    • Which assumptions are behind a given approach?
    • What are the limitations?
  • Attract signal-processing experts from outside the MEG field and encourage a discussion on the cognitive insight which the techniques can bring about

 The deadline for submitting results is Aug 17, 2012. Link for details, data etc: http://www.biomag2012.org/content/data-analysis-competition 

 

Brainstorm course

 

 

-where the group works,
> > -what the topics are they work on,
> > -their "line of thought" about these topics/ the big thing they work
> towards
> Yep - but just a short paragraph.
> > -a short description of their recent&  important findings
> > -links to their 2 or 3 most important papers
> Probably best to combine these two.
> > -link to their website
