The first BrainVoyager Training Course of this year will take place on 8th and 9th of February 2002 It will be held by Rainer Goebel, author of BrainVoyager, together with colleagues who have extensive experience in using the software. The first day will teach the first steps on how to use BrainVoyager whereas the second day presents more advanced features of the software. The course is aimed towards BrainVoyager beginners. It is followed by an advanced course a week later.
In the morning sessions, lectures on how to use BrainVoyager will be presented with a focus on background knowledge. The afternoon sessions offer the opportunity to work with BrainVoyager on sample data. These exercise sessions will be done on powerful workstations and are supervised by tutors.
Note, that the number of participants is limited to 25 persons. The participation costs are EUR 300. The costs cover the course, lunch and refreshments but do not include accommodation. If you are interested in participating on this course, send an email to MaastrichtCourses@BrainVoyager.com. You will then receive further information about the course as well as addresses of hotels.
