Cambridge Connectome Consortium

This group is interested in connectivity and the brain, and meets 11am-1pm on the last Tuesday of each month, at the MRC CBU (Lecture Theatre). Please email DarrenPrice for more details.

This group, which includes people from CBU and BMU/BCNI, subsumed the previous CBU CONIG interest group, but slides from that group can still be found here: http://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/imaging/ConIG
