Necessary Formalities

Like MRI projects, MEG project proposals should first be presented at an IIG ImagersInterestGroup, and then time "slots" requested via the MEG form available here RequestForMegSlots, which should be downloaded, completed and emailed to GeorgieMorrill to be considered at the next meeting of the IMC ImagingManagementCommittee.

BR Once your project proposal has been endorsed by the IMC, you can ["book your slots"]. (Precise scheduling of MEG scanning slots is still to be decided).

BRNote that MEG projects on healthy volunteers do not require LREC approval, but do require CPREC approval (an existing CPREC for behavioural studies is not sufficient; you will need to make a new CPREC request, or seek an amendment to an existing CPREC approval, to extend it to MEG). A new CPREC application needs to include the usual information about your psychological paradigm/s in addition to explaining that you will be performing the study with MEG. An application also needs to include the information sheet that will be given to participants, for which the following can be used as a template: GeneralVolunteerSheet.

BRNote that you will also 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.
