====== CUBIC Neuroscience Series (CNS) ======

CUBIC organises a monthly meeting (the newly titled CUBIC Neuroscience Series) on topics of general interest to MRI community. This includes:

  * **Work-in-progress (WIP) meetings** (highly recommended for staff running new studies)
  * **Methods Oriented Talks (MOT)** by internal or external speakers.
  * **Data Clinics (Clinic)** that are available to all researchers (neuroimaging, behavioural, modelling etc.). The clinics are intended to be informal meetings to discuss issues with experimental design, data collection and analysis, or interpretation.
  * **Publication round-ups (PRU)** - to showcase some of the latest studies to come out from cognitive neuroscientists at RHUL
  * **Journal club (JC)** - CUBIC members host a paper of interest to the broader group
  * **General meeting (GM)** - CUBIC members discuss wider issues around the the centre (e.g., policies, research strategy, grant writing)

These are held at Royal Holloway and are open to all users. Please contact <carl.hodgetts@rhul.ac.uk> to add your name to the mailing list to receive information about upcoming meetings.
