Skills-oriented training opportunities at the CBU

We offer a comprehensive skills-oriented training programme for PhD students and post-doctoral researchers from interdisciplinary backgrounds. This includes modules on scientific computing and programming (Linux, Matlab), good research practice in scientific computing, signal processing in Matlab, and specialised neuroimaging workshops focussed on (f)MRI and EEG/MEG analysis.

Our programme provides junior researchers with

  1. state-of-the-art analysis tools for high-quality research,
  2. skills that increase their efficiency and independence,
  3. knowledge that enables them to critically evaluate neuroimaging literature
  4. transferrable skills that can be useful outside academia.

Most of our workshops are organised as block courses, in order to provide new starters with the necessary skills as early and efficiently as possible. The hands-on parts of our programme make use of 15 CBU laptops dedicated to training purposes.

The core components of our skills-oriented training programme are:

  1. Introduction to Scientific Computing and Good Research Practice: An introduction to Best Practice in Scientific Computing, Linux, command line interfaces, the CBU computing system, and principles of reproducible science. This includes theory and hands-on practice.

  2. PyBrain - Introduction to Neuroimaging in Python: A series of online workshops by several external experts on the stimulus presentation, MRI, fMRI and EEG/MEG analysis in Python.

  3. Introduction to Neuroimaging Methods: Lectures and hands-on workshops on central aspects of (f)MRI and EEG/MEG analysis, from data acquisition over pre-processing to statistics. Software will be based on Python and Matlab. This also includes a lecture on brain stimulation techniques.

  4. Statistical Methods for Cognitive Psychologists: Lectures on theory and applications of statistical methods in cognitive science aimed at new PhD students.

These workshops are complemented by a number of one-off workshops on selected topics, e.g. on statistics in R and specific neuroimaging analysis software.

Courses are taught at the CBU by a diverse team of tutors from the Cambridge neuroscience community, who are at the forefront of their research areas. Our training programme also provides a welcome opportunity to gain teaching experience for junior researchers.
