When two Wellcome Centres meet

Last year, the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging became the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging - to distinguish it from the brand-spanking-new Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging in Oxford. But instead of just funding two competitors, the Wellcome Trust wants more bang for their buck and decided to get everyone together to share what we are working on - hopefully paving the way for future collaborations. 

As part of this, I was offered the opportunity to talk a little bit about my work on using computational models to link EEG recordings in patients with NMDA-receptors, and a corresponding mouse model. It's perhaps fitting that this will be my last talk given with full Wellcome Trust Centre affiliation, before heading over to King's. 

London SPM Course

As always it’s a pleasure to contribute to this year’s SPM course. It’s an opportunity to learn about MEG / EEG analysis, DCMs in all variety and watch me try and demonstrate how to do group analyses on the point and click interface (hint: it’s much easier to do this in code once you get hang of it!). There’s still places available for free for UCL students, so come along if you’re keen!

Meeting on Network Inference and Random Dynamics

Some colleagues from Imperial have organised a great looking workshop, bringing together neuroscientists and mathematicians to talk about networks, models and dynamical systems. I'll be at the workshop talking about some of our work on NMDA receptor encephalitis and networks in epilepsy surgery.
