EGI-Sponsored BESA Research Workshop

Registration is open - click here to register online. Registration closes November 1, 2010.

For commercial-grade, PC-based visualization and analysis tools for EEG and MEG data, BESA Research software is second to none. As a BESA distributor, EGI offers a 2-day BESA Research workshop taught by experts and designed to meet the needs of new BESA Research users as well as the experienced. This hands-on workshop offers registrants the insights they need to make the most of the powerful feature set of the new BESA Research 5.3, now including a direct Matlab interface. Topics covered in the workshop include a theoretical and practical introduction to source analysis, data preprocessing in BESA Research, advanced artifact correction, coregistration with (f)MRI, time-frequency analysis and source coherence, 3D source imaging (including the new CLARA method), batch scripting and statistics, and much more.

This year we are staging the EGI/BESA Research workshop on November 11 and 12 in San Diego, California, just before the 2010 Society for Neuroscience annual meeting. To view the syllabus and register for this value-packed workshop, download the combo PDF and follow the instructions on the Registration Form, or you can register online.
