MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences UnitThroughout the year the MRC CBU hosts a series of conferences that are aimed at sharing our research, methods, and technical knowledge, to maintain our open approach to science. We hope this information provides a better understanding of our work and improves collaborations with other scientists and institutes around the world. These conferences are usually registration only events with a limited number of places available and sometimes requiring an attendance fee.
Below you can find information on upcoming conferences, past conferences (some with video), and a link to any relevant external conferences.
Upcoming conferences
Cognitive Neuroscience Skills Training In Cambridge (COGNESTIC)
19-30 September 2022
https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/conferences/cognestic2022/
We will provide researchers with training in state-of-the-art methods for neuroimaging and neurostimulation. Our tutors are experts using and developing MRI, fMRI, EEG/MEG and TMS analysis methods, as well as in statistical methods and open science.
We invite applications from researchers of all relevant disciplines, but spaces are limited. Thus, in a pre-registration stage we will ask for a brief explanation of the benefits of attending our summer school for the applicant. Attendance fee is £200. Please pre-register by 19th June.
