COGNESTIC – Registration now open!

Join us in Cambridge for the two-week Cognitive Neuroimaging Skills Training In Cambridge (COGNESTIC) Summer School (15th-26th September 2025), designed to equip emerging researchers in cognitive neuroscience with cutting-edge techniques for open neuroimaging research. This immersive program focuses on MRI, fMRI, and EEG/MEG methodologies, ideal for those beginning or planning to initiate your own neuroimaging research projects. Because the emphasis of this course is on open, transparent and reproducible analysis, there is considerable programming and scripting involved (with little use of GUIs). While we will provide videos on the theoretical background of neuroimaging analysis methods in advance, the focus of our workshops will be on demos and hands-on practice.

What to Expect:

• Hands-on Training with Open-Source Tools: Engage with powerful neuroimaging analysis software like DiPy, Nilearn, MNE-Python, FSL, Freesurfer, fMRIprep, and BIDS tools. Learn to build reproducible analysis pipelines based primarily on Python for reliable and robust data analysis.
• Expert-led Theory and Practice: Each session combines theoretical foundations with practical demonstrations and hands-on practice, giving you ample opportunity to apply new techniques.
• Comprehensive Pre-course Materials: Access online materials before the event, including custom video content from our expert tutors, to maximize your learning experience.
• Guest Lectures: Hear from leading principal investigators about the latest advancements in cognitive and clinical neuroscience applications.
• Guided Lab Tours: Explore the state-of-the-art CBU lab facilities, with discussions on best practices in data acquisition.

This summer school offers a collaborative environment where you can connect with tutors and peers, share insights, and build skills essential for success in neuroimaging research.
