Bangor, UK

About

Bangor University hosts a local hub of the international M/EEG methods conference. Alongside the streamed global programme, we run local sessions on EEG preprocessing in EEGLAB, cluster-based permutation testing and PLS-SVD (each with a live MATLAB demo), plus local research talks. In partnership with the Birmingham Garden we also host their Intro to EEG, Intro to MEG, and EEG/eye-tracking sessions. Relaxed and drop-in friendly, open to all.

Topics

EEG preprocessing
Cluster-based permutation statistics
Multivariate analysis (PLS-SVD)

Tutorials

Basic EEG preprocessing in EEGLAB
Methods session: cluster-based permutation testing (Part A) and PLS-SVD (Part B)
MATLAB Demo of the analyses described in the methods session (group/condition comparisons, mixed designs)

Featured Speakers /Teachers

Germano Gallicchio,
Andrew Cooke,
Thipkanlaya Jaiaue.

Venue - How to reach the Bangor Garden

The Bangor Garden is hosted by Bangor University, on the North Wales coast between Eryri (Snowdonia) and the Menai Strait. Sessions will run on University Normal Site, George Building, Holyhead Rd, Bangor, LL57 2PZ, a walking distance from the city centre and the island of Anglesey. Everyone is welcome, from Bangor and neighbouring institutions across North Wales and the North West, or further afield.

Coming by TRAIN

Bangor is on the North Wales coast line, with direct trains from Chester, Crewe, and London Euston (Avanti West Coast). The station is ~15 min walk from the venue.
