Necessary Formalities
General
Note that you will need to become a qualified "MEG researcher", as defined in the StandardOperatingProcedures (SOPS) which you need to read before running any studies in the MEG lab.
MEG projects should first be discussed in your scientific group, and then presented at an IIG ImagersInterestGroup for feedback about methodological issues. This is a requirement for CBU projects, though not necessarily for externally-funded projects. Then time "slots" should be requested via the MEG form available here RequestForMegSlots , these should be downloaded, completed and emailed to mri.admin@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk to be considered at the next meeting of the IMC ImagingManagementCommittee. The meetings are every month on a Wednesday and you must send the slot request before the Tuesday morning.
Once your project proposal has been endorsed by the IMC, you can book_your_slots. Please email or visit the facilities manager or email mri.admin@mrc.cam.ac.uk and attach the ethics approval letter.
All necessary MEG documents can be found here http://intranet.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/imaging/meg/
