[Eeglablist] 2009 ERP Boot Camp UC-Davis, Steve Luck

[Emily Kappenman]

The ERP Boot Camp, an NIH-funded summer workshop on the ERP technique, will
be held July 20-29 2009 at UC-Davis. It is intended for beginning and
intermediate ERP researchers, and for both basic scientists and clinical
researchers.

 The topics will include:
 1) Where do ERPs come from? What do they mean?
2) ERP components
3) The design and interpretation of ERP experiments
4) EEG data acquisition
5) Filtering, artifact rejection, and artifact correction
6) Measuring and analyzing ERP components
7) ERP localization
8) Setting up and running an ERP lab

 The Boot Camp consists of lectures on these topics, accompanied by guided
discussions of ERP papers, lab activities, and individual consultations.  It
is led by Steve Luck, and the faculty includes many distinguished ERP
researchers from UC Davis and other universities.

 Participants at previous Boot Camps have come from around the world and
have ranged from beginning graduate students to full professors. They have
included psychologists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and
speech pathologists. Typically, we expect that graduate students should have
had at least 6 months of significant ERP (or related) experience before
attending the Boot Camp.

 We strongly encourage the participation of individuals from
underrepresented groups.

 Funding is available from NIMH to defray some or all of the costs of
attending the Boot Camp, but is limited to U.S. citizens and permanent
residents.  International participants are encouraged to apply, but they
must obtain their own funding. We typically accept 25 U.S. citizens and
permanent residents, and 5 international participants.

 Applications are due on March 31, 2009.
