Club MEG
Club MEG is our version of a journal club. We welcome NIH MEG researchers to lead discussions on any MEG topic, including interesting papers, experiment ideas, analysis techniques, or finding from your research.
Interested in presenting a topic? Email Fred Carver at carverf@nih.gov or Jeff Stout at stoutjd@nih.gov if you would like to present.
Notifications of upcoming talks are sent to the MEG_ANNOUNCE (NIH MEG Core Users only) and Club-MEG_ANNOUNCE listservs.
