NEW!MagLink School Reviews
On March 1-4, 2009 – Neuroscan conducted a "Live Maglink School at University of Southern California, Los Angeles. Site venue was the Dana and David Dornsife Cognitive Neuroscience Imaging Center. Nine participants attended. The four day sessions covered Maglink hardware and software demonstrations.  Two evening sessions of “Live on Line” Data Acquisition and Analysis of the EEG and ERP recorded live in the MRI were conducted. Also demonstrated: removal of Gradient Artifact and Removal of Ballistocardiogram,  Examples of Analysis for EEG and ERP. A final session provided an overview of CURRY - Current density Reconstruction and applications into EEG in the MRI.

What our research partners are saying about the Neuroscan “Live Maglink” school:

“The hands on sessions were very helpful as was the real- data set analysis." 
 - DP, USC Los Angeles

“I was very happy with the session. Curtis did a great job of explaining things. The session that was the most informative and useful to me was “Data Analysis in Edit”.

Neuroscan receives rave reviews from first "Virtual" Scan School!
On April 14th and 15th, 2009 – Neuroscan conducted their first ever "Virtual Scan School and their largest USA SCAN School EVER! Twenty six people from 5 institutions attended via GoToMeeting (remote desktop sharing software). Attendees were located in Texas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and New York. The sessions covered basic acquisition parameters and options, an overview of Stim2, and sessions on data analysis including basic operations, eye blink removal methods, and automated processing using Tcl Batch files. A final session provided an overview of the Curry source reconstruction software.

The virtual school was adopted due to the current need to minimize expenses for all parties, and underscores our commitment to assist our customers under any circumstances. As a result, far more people were able to attend than had we held the usual on-site school at a single location. We will continue to take advantage of the latest advances in technology by creating more online education opportunities.  Keep watching our web site for announcements of selected topic courses, webinars, etc.  Please let us know if you have any suggestions for topics!

What our research partners are saying about the Neuroscan Virtual SCAN school format:

"Thanks for getting me set up for the virtual scan school.  It was very
helpful and I am so pleased to have not had to travel for it. I would not have been able to attend this session without the virtual option."
Diane O, UTD Callier Center for Communication Disorders

“We were very happy with the session. Rob and Martin did a great job of explaining things. However, it would have been nice to talk to the other lab groups and hear how their labs are set-up. Having said that if it had been on site in Pittsburgh my students wouldn't have been able to attend and I think they really got a lot out of the experience.”
