Satellite Biomag 2010: Analysis toolboxes for MEG data

When:
Sunday, March 28, 2010
(in connection with Biomag2010)
Where:
Rixos Libertas Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik, Croatia
(talks: Hall Mistral C; Demos: Mistral C, Gregala, Tramontana, Shirocco)

Registrations:

Registration fee: Euro 50.00
Please sign up here
(onsite registration is possible but we cannot guarantee a seat)

Objective:

Free toolboxes for analysis of MEG data are now widely used in published work. These toolboxes are becoming essential for making new developments available to the users. Further they serve to bring developers and users closer together.

That aim of the satellite proposal is
1) To make the users aware about the features and possibilities of the various toolboxes
2) To facilitate the communication between developers and users in order to help direct future developments
3) To bring the toolbox developers together to facility common developments and sharing.

Information for speakers/toolbox developers:

Sylvain Baillet is organizing a Special Issue of the journal 'Computational Intelligence & Neuroscience' (http://www.hindawi.com/journals/cin/) on academic software solutions for MEG/EEG imaging/analysis (CIN is indexed in PubMed & open-access. Guest editors will be Sylvain Baillet, Robert Oostenveld and Karl Friston. You will all be strongly encouraged to submit an article on your toolbox to CIN. The articles will be peer-reviewed and acceptance is of course not guaranteed.
