SPM Course for EEG & MEG¶
Course programme¶
This is a draft programme of the upcoming online SPM course for EEG and MEG. The course will consist of lectures and practical workshops where attendees will be guided through analyses of different neuroimaging datasets. Lecture times are to be considered in BST (i.e., London time).
Organisers: Dr Alberto Mariola
