UC-Davis ERP Boot Camp, a 10-day NIH-funded summer workshop on the ERP
technique, will be held at UC-Davis July 13-22, 2015. It is intended primarily for
beginning and intermediate-level ERP researchers and for both basic scientists
and clinical researchers from a variety of disciplines.</span></p>

Common ERP components</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">3)
The design and interpretation of ERP experiments</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">The
Boot Camp consists of lectures on these topics, accompanied by guided discussions
of ERP papers, activities, and individual consultations. It is led by Steve
Luck and Emily Kappenman, and the faculty includes many distinguished ERP
researchers from UC Davis and other universities.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Participants
at previous Boot Camps have come from around the world and have included
graduate students, postdocs, research scientists, and full professors. They
have included psychologists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, neurologists,
speech pathologists, and more. </span><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Typically, we require that
graduate students and postdocs will have had at least 1 year of significant ERP
experience before attending the Boot Camp. We strongly encourage applications
from faculty-level researchers and from</span><span style="font-family:Helvetica"> individuals from underrepresented groups.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Funding is available from NIMH to defray most or all of the costs of
attending the Boot Camp but is limited to U.S. citizens and permanent residents
(irrespective of current institution location). International researchers are
encouraged to apply, but they must obtain their own funding (mainly travel and
lodging costs). </span><span style="font-family:Helvetica">We typically accept 30 U.S. citizens and
permanent residents, along with 5 international participants. </span><span style="font-family:Helvetica"></span></p>
