“Share knowledge globally, grow competence locally“
EEG and MEG methods
multi-hub meeting
21-25 September 2026
About
What? CuttingGardens is a distributed conference on cutting-edge methods for M/EEG data analysis. It happens simultaneously in several locations (aka. Gardens) across the world, with a common global program, broadcasted to all locations, and local programs made of talks, tutorials, posters, social events, satellites… as each Garden (optionally) sees fit. See the first edition and the PLoS article for more details.
When? September 21st – September 25th, 2026
How? Each Garden runs independently with some support from the global organization. Gardens offer different types of activities (talks, tutorials, etc.…), each of which earns the Garden a “Badge” (See 2023 Gardeners’ page).
Where? Everywhere! We will have Gardens spread around the world. Get in touch and tell us where you are from so we can help you organize, and synchronize with neighboring Gardens (if any).
- Would you like to plan(t) your own Garden and be part of this unique event? Jump to the Gardeners‘ section (available soon)!
- Otherwise, save the date! More information about the gardens and registration to come in the spring.

What was on the menu?
