news and events / Cognitive neuroimaging seminar series

2011/12Seminar Series (in Gaddum Lecture Theatre, 1 George Square unless specified)

The Edinburgh Cognitive Neuroimaging Seminars are a series of external speaker events which aim to bring together academics and students from different disciplines around an area of common interest: Cognitive Neuroimaging. Topics include work in multiple modalities of functional and structural neuroimaging and in both humans and animals, unified by an interest in understanding cognition and in applying this understanding in a clinical setting. Each month an external speaker will present findings from research using state of the art neuroimaging tools. The Seminars are organised by the Cognitive Neuroimaging group in cCNS - Alexa Morcom (Psychology), Cyril Pernet (SBIRC/ CCBS), and Thomas Wolbers (Neuroscience).
