[visionlist] 2010 ERP Boot Camp - Application Deadline March 1st

[Valerie Beck]

The UC-Davis ERP Boot Camp, an NIH-funded summer workshop on the ERP  
technique, will be held July 12-21, 2010. (For additional information,  
see www.ERPinfo.org/the-erp-bootcamp)

The ERP Boot Camp is a 10-day introduction to the ERP technique held  
each summer at UC Davis. It is intended for beginning and intermediate  
ERP researchers, and for both basic scientists and clinical/ 
translational researchers.

The topics will include:

1) Where do ERPs come from? What do they mean?

2) ERP components

3) The design and interpretation of ERP experiments

4) EEG data acquisition

5) Filtering, artifact rejection, and artifact correction

6) Measuring and analyzing ERP components

7) ERP localization

8) Setting up and running an ERP lab

The Boot Camp consists of lectures on these topics, structured  
discussions, individual consultations, and a substantial laboratory  
component.  It is led by Steve Luck, and the faculty includes many  
distinguished ERP researchers from UC Davis and other universities.

Participants at previous Boot Camps have come from around the world  
and have ranged from beginning graduate students to full professors.  
They have included psychologists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists,  
neurologists, and speech pathologists. Typically, we expect that  
students and postdocs should have had at least 6 months of significant  
ERP (or related) experience before attending the Boot Camp.

We strongly encourage the participation of individuals from  
underrepresented groups.

Funding is available from NIMH to defray some or all of the costs of  
attending the Boot Camp, and scholarships will be provided to all  
participants who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.   
Scholarships may also be provided to some international participants,  
but this is not guaranteed. We typically accept 25-28 U.S. citizens  
and permanent residents, along with 2-5 international participants.

The application consists of a CV, a 1-2 page statement of background  
and interests, and (for students and postdocs) a letter of  
recommendation.

We will begin accepting applications for the 2010 session (July 12-21)  
in early January. Applications are due on March 1, 2010, and are  
submitted electronically via www.ERPinfo.org/the-erp-bootcamp.
