Satellite Course

December 2 – 4, 2009

A three-day course Foundation Themes for Advanced EEG/MEG Source Analysis: Theory and Demonstrations via Hands-on Examples will follow the Consciousness and its Measures conference. The course will cover both the theory and practice of EEG/MEG data analysis. It will consist of two distinct parts: (1) a one-day intensive theoretical workshop on the forward and inverse problems for EEG/MEG and the related issue of mathematical descriptions of the brain activity in terms of networks, to be held at the conference venue; (2) a two-day course (one day EEG-related, next day MEG-related) with few short lectures and long hands-on practical sessions describing how the theoretical concepts of the first day translate in practice, to be held at the premises of Lab. for Human Brain Dynamics in Nicosia, Cyprus.

The first part of the course (first day, theoretical workshop) can accommodate as many people as might wish to attend. The second part (last two days, practical sessions) will be restricted to a maximum of 20 participants to allow enough hands-on experience and interactions. The participants for this second part will be selected on a first come, first served basis. 

Target Audience: The course is aimed at a wide audience and will be relevant to the delegates of the Consciousness and its Measures conference. The first part's lectures will cover topics at the frontier of modern EEG/MEG analysis and the foundations of the related forward and inverse problems, always emphasizing the meaning behind the mathematical equations. The second part's practical sessions will be particularly useful for PhD students who are likely to work on the EEG/MEG source analysis and for users of EEG/MEG software that wish to get a good understanding of how the underlying fundamental concepts influence the results of the computations. Together, through the three days, the course will provide a good overview of the main theories in advanced EEG/MEG data analysis and their implications in practice.
