Join us in Cambridge, UK for the two-week <b>Cognitive Neuroimaging Skills Training In Cambridge (COGNESTIC) Summer School</b>, designed to equip emerging researchers in cognitive neuroscience with cutting-edge techniques for open neuroimaging research. This
immersive program focuses on MRI, fMRI, and EEG/MEG methodologies, ideal for those beginning or planning to initiate your own neuroimaging research projects. Because the emphasis of this course is on open, transparent and reproducible analysis, there is considerable
programming and scripting involved (with little use of GUIs). While we will provide videos on the theoretical background of neuroimaging analysis methods in advance, the focus of our workshops will be on demos and hands-on practice.
