Monday Methods Meetings at the CBU
Our Monday Methods Meetings (MMMs) take place on Mondays at 12:30.
This includes:
Project Presentation Meetings (PPM), mandatory before requesting neuroimaging slots.
Methods-Oriented Talks (MoT) by internal or external speakers.
Data Clinics (Clinic) intended to be informal meetings to discuss issues with experimental design, data collection and analysis, or interpretation.
Recordings and resources of some of the previous MMM talks are available on the CBU Intranet and a limited selection of talks also on the CBU YouTube Channel.
To suggest methods talks or data clinics, get in touch with a member of the Methods Group: Rik Henson, Olaf Hauk, Marta Correia, Dace Apšvalka, Peter Watson.
