<p class="isSelectedEnd">Dear all,</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Registration is now open for the <strong>Advanced MEG/OPM Toolkit</strong>, which will take place <strong>12–16 October 2026</strong> at the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging, Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">This year's five-day toolkit has a strong focus on <strong>Optically Pumped Magnetometer (OPM) MEG</strong>, while also covering advanced analysis methods that are applicable to both conventional SQUID-MEG and OPM-MEG. The course combines
lectures with extensive hands-on sessions using the FieldTrip toolbox, and includes dedicated time for participants to work on their own data with guidance from experienced tutors.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Topics include:</p>
<ul data-spread="false">
<li>Preprocessing of MEG and OPM-MEG data</li><li>OPM-specific denoising methods</li><li>OPM coregistration</li><li>Source reconstruction</li><li>Non-parametric statistical analysis</li><li>Custom OPM helmet design</li><li>Open science and good practices</li><li>Supervised "FieldTrip playground" sessions for analysis of your own datasets</li></ul>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The course is intended for researchers with an interest in advanced MEG data analysis. Please note that this edition focuses on <strong>MEG (both SQUID and OPM)</strong> and <strong>does not cover EEG analysis</strong>.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Places are limited. Participants will be selected based on their background, research interests, and motivation, with the aim of creating a group of similar experience levels to maximize interaction during the course. The <strong>pre-registration
deadline is 25 August 2026</strong>. Applicants will be informed shortly after the deadline whether they have obtained a place.</p>
