We have regular methods events in our '''Monday Methods Meetings (MMM) on Mondays at 12.30'''. Please find the schedule below. Our '''Monday Methods Meetings (MMMs) '''take place '''on Mondays at 12:30'''.
Line 4: Line 4:
This includes '''Project Presentation Meetings (PPMs''', mandatory before requesting neuroimaging slots) and occasional '''Imagers Interest Group (IIG)''' talks by internal or external speakers. This includes:
Line 6: Line 6:
We are also running '''“Data Clinics” (DaC)''' that are available to all researchers (neuroimaging, behavioural, modelling etc.). The clinics are intended to be informal meetings to discuss issues with experimental design, data collection and analysis, or interpretation.  * '''[[http://intranet.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/home/project-presentation-meeting/|Project Presentation Meetings]] (PPM)''', mandatory before requesting neuroimaging slots.
Line 8: Line 8:
We would like to strongly encourage you to make use of the CBU’s Slack help channels (https://intranet.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/home/slack/), where you can ask questions, post relevant news items or suggestions, and search for previous replies on a topic of interest.  * '''Methods-Oriented Talks (MoT)''' by internal or external speakers.
Line 10: Line 10:
You may also find some useful information on our Wiki pages (https://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/methods/WikiOverview). Please note that some of these pages may be out-of-date – this is work in progress and we greatly appreciate your feedback.  * '''Data Clinics (Clinic)''' intended to be informal meetings to discuss issues with experimental design, data collection and analysis, or interpretation.
Line 12: Line 12:
We also keep a CBU GitHub page with some open software tools from the CBU (https://github.com/MRC-CBU). '''Recordings''' and resources of some of the previous MMM talks are available on the [[http://intranet.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/home/mmm-talks/|CBU Intranet]] and a limited selection of talks also on the [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp67eqWCj2f8lJBUys6AQI99w2UD5nrVg|CBU YouTube Channel]].
Line 14: Line 14:
If you want to know what’s going on around Cambridge (methods- or otherwise), browse the recordings of previous conferences and workshops at the CBU, such as our Methods Days (https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/conferences/). To suggest methods talks or data clinics, get in touch with a member of the '''Methods Group''': [[https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/rik.henson|Rik Henson]], [[https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/olaf.hauk|Olaf Hauk]], [[https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/marta.correia|Marta Correia]], [[https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/dace.apsvalka|Dace Apšvalka]], [[https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/peter.watson|Peter Watson]].
Line 16: Line 16:
You can always get in touch with a member of the Methods Group (see below) first to discuss your ideas. We are always happy to receive suggestions for Data Clinics or IIG talks, and you are welcome to contribute to our Wiki and GitHub pages as well as our Slack channels.

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.
