The EEG Research Pipeline: A Hands-On Bootcamp from Task Design to Analysis

The EEG Research Pipeline: A Hands-On Bootcamp From Task Design to Analysis

Designed for PhD students and early career researchers, "The EEG Research Pipeline" is a two-day, hands-on workshop that provides a foundational understanding of the complete EEG research process. On Day 1, led by the PsychoPy team, you will receive hands-on training in experimental design and reproducible research, covering core concepts, stimulus presentation, and hardware integration. Day 2, led by ANT Neuro experts, will guide you through practical EEG setup, data collection with provided templates, and a step-by-step analysis of the resulting data. The workshop is designed to provide attendees with the essential skills to take an experiment from initial design to data analysis, bridging the gap between cognitive task creation and ERP outcomes.
