Monday Methods Meetings at the CBU

We have regular methods events in our Monday Methods Meetings (MMM) 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) 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.

Additional Methods resources:

  • CBU’s Slack help channel, where you can ask questions, post relevant news items or suggestions, and search for previous replies on a topic of interest.

  • Wiki pages. Please note that some of these pages may be out-of-date – this is work in progress and we greatly appreciate your feedback.

  • CBU GitHub with some open software tools from the CBU.

  • Recordings of previous conferences and workshops at the CBU.

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.

Methods group: Rik Henson, Olaf Hauk, Marta Correia, Dace Apšvalka, Peter Watson

Please find the MMM schedule below. Recordings and resources of some of the previous talks are available here.
