Which Brain Products Academy events will you attend in 2025?
by Dr. Tracy Warbrick
Head of Education & Scientific Communication (Brain Products)
We are already hard at work planning our workshop schedule for 2025. We had such a successful 2024 we can’t wait to welcome you to our events next year. Here’s a recap of this year’s events to whet your appetite followed by our tentative schedule for 2025 so you can already start planning which workshops to join.
Looking back at 2024
The Brain Products Academy celebrates 100 years of EEG
This year the EEG community celebrated 100 years of EEG. To mark this milestone and to encourage the next generation of EEG researchers we offered 100 free tickets for our Foundations of EEG online workshop. You took us up on our offer and we gave away all 100 tickets! This workshop is a great introduction to EEG, and because it’s online it’s accessible to many people, allowing us to spread the word about how great EEG is as a research tool.
We’ll be running our Foundations of EEG online workshop again from February 25 – 27, 2025. Registration opened on December 9, 2024. For more information and to save your spot, click here. Alternatively, take part in our LinkedIn contest and win free admission to the entire 3-day workshop.
To mark the 100th anniversary of EEG, we also ran a workshop at the young scientists meeting at the “Psychologie und Gehirn” (Psychology and Brain) conference in Hamburg (Germany) in May 2024. It’s important for us to support our research community, particularly those just getting started on their research journey. We were very happy to work with our subsidiary MES Forschungssysteme GmbH to bring this workshop to an enthusiastic group of young scientists that will hopefully be part of the next 100 years of EEG.
“Coming to the workshop with very little knowledge about EEG, this was a great introduction! The workshop had a good balance of introducing the basic features in theory, and quickly moved on to a hands-on session which was very helpful. The instructors were very attentive to the participants, which made it a pleasure to attend.”
“Thank you so much for this amazing and inspiring workshop: All steps of a typical EEG experiment were presented very clearly – from data collection to data analysis and publication. Everything was explained with hands-on demonstrations and the lectures were very easy to understand. The participants were even allowed to put on EEG caps themselves. In the end, we were really excited to start the next EEG experiment ourselves immediately.”
Core EEG training
We were delighted to welcome another cohort of attendees to Munich (Germany) for our A-Z of EEG workshop in June 2024. We really enjoy delivering our ‘home’ workshop with a strong team of trainers from our Scientific and Technical Support teams. We had a great time sharing our practical knowledge and our attendees had a great time, too.
“Thank you so much for your well designed and organized workshop. It was a fruitful couple of days in the beautifull city of Munich, which I really enjoyed.”
Next year’s Munich workshop will take place in spring 2025, stay tuned for the dates being announced.
A focus on EEG-fMRI
We have a strong EEG-fMRI customer base with a thirst for knowledge and learning. We enjoy using our vast experience in this application to bring our customers a variety of events on EEG-fMRI. In line with the Brain Products Academy philosophy of providing a variety of workshop formats at different levels of expertise, we ran three EEG-fMRI events in 2024. An online workshop on handling scanner related artifacts, a free webinar series looking at what you can do with your EEG data once it has been corrected for scanner-related artifacts, and a full on-site EEG-fMRI workshop in the UK in cooperation with Brain Products UK and hosted by the Centre for Human Brain Health at the University of Birmingham in the UK.
“The Brain Products Academy EEG-fMRI workshop was a great way for us to ensure that we are using the technique in the most up to date way, and even with a long history of using EEG-fMRI there was plenty to learn. The Brain Products Academy team are excellent. Their knowledge of EEG-fMRI is exceptional and their professionalism is combined with excellent teaching skills which allow everyone to ask questions, no matter their previous experience. It was a pleasure for us to host the workshop at the Centre for Human Brain Health, and to help the community learn about EEG-fMRI.”
A look ahead at 2025
