Twentieth EEGLAB Workshop
Sheffield, UK - September 2-5, 2015 
EEGLAB is an open-source software environment for electrophysiological signal processing now widely used around the world, with a growing number of extensions available from many research groups. The 20th EEGLAB Workshop will be held from Wednesday, September 2nd until Saturday, September 5th 2015 at the University of Sheffield, UK. The workshop will consist of tutorials, demonstrations and practical sessions. It will be led by Scott Makeig, Arnaud Delorme, and John Iversen of the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience, UCSD. The residential course will be limited to 50 delegates; it promises to be a great opportunity to learn more about advanced EEG analysis and meet other EEG researchers from the UK and elsewhere. There will also be a poster session that will provide delegates with the opportunity to present some of their recent EEG work and to receive feedback from their colleagues. Registrants will be contacted by the workshop organiser with further details of the poster session.
Participants are expected to bring laptops with MATLAB installed so as to be able to participate in the practical sessions. The workshop will introduce and demonstrate the use of EEGLAB and EEGLAB extension tools for performing analysis of EEG and related data, with detailed method expositions and practical exercises. There will be an opportunity for delegates to present some of their EEG work during a poster session.
’'’NOTE: The workshop will be fairly technical, some sessions requiring basic MATLAB programming skills. Therefore this workshop might not be suited for people who are just beginning EEG research with quite limited knowledge of it, nor for those arriving with no experience at all with MATLAB. Rather, the intended attendees are those performing EEG research who want to learn to perform more flexible and in-depth analysis methods using EEGLAB. ‘’’
The EEGLAB workshop will be preceded, on Tuesday 1st September, by a one-day EEG / LFP conference entitled, “Understanding neural excitation/inhibition: implications for typical brain function and clinical disorders.” This is a free conference, but if you wish to attend you must register to attend separately. More information about this conference is provided here.
