About this Event

BESA and Brain Vision are excited to offer two (2) single day in-person workshops at the University of Chicago this April!


Join us to practice using different parts of the BESA software ecosystem for specific research applications including source imaging and connectivity analyses.


Day 1: Learn to apply advanced source imaging techniques in BESA Research and participate in hands-on practice within the BESA Software Suite.


Day 2: Explore two of BESA’s stand-alone programs: BESA Connectivity and BESA Statistics. With these programs you can apply time-frequency and connectivity analyses of EEG/MEG data as collected from a variety of EEG/MEG devices and run appropriate statistical analyses on them. This does not require using BESA Research, so anyone can benefit from these.


See more detailed information about the planned topics in the agenda. Members from BESA GmbH (the developers behind the BESA suite of software) as well as Brain Vision LLC (a distribution partner for BESA in the US) will lead this workshop so come get your questions answered directly from them.


Seats are limited, so please reserve yours (for either or both days) soon!
