Course Material for COGNESTIC 2025

The Cognitive Neuroimaging Skills Training In Cambridge (COGNESTIC) is a 2-week course that provides researchers with training in state-of-the-art methods for reproducible and open neuroimaging analysis and related methods. You can find more information on the COGNESTIC webpage

The following materials are based on last year's event, and are subject to change.

Software Installation Instructions

This information will be provided in due course.
