The first BrainVoyager Training Course held in the F.C. Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging will take place on 7th and 8th of September 2001. 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.
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 as well as on data measured in the afternoon of the first day of the course together with the participants. The exercises are 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 200. 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 Course@BrainVoyager.com. You will then receive further information about the course as well as addresses of hotels.
