</font></p><div style="text-align:left"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">It is becoming increasingly important to study the working brain as network both in cognitive and clinical neuroscience. MEG provides an excellent opportunity to study the functional interactions between various brain regions. There are now multiple approaches and tools available for doing this. The aim of the proposed workshop is to elucidate practical approaches for studying brain connectivity using MEG. This will be done by a set of presentations in which basics of connectivity and source space analysis are introduced. Then follows presentations by various toolbox developers. The toolbox presenters will be asked to 1) outline conceptually the types of connectivity approaches their toolboxes allow for and 2) describe how it practically can be done. Finally we will discuss how various connectivity measures can be tested using standardized data sets.</font></div>
