ICON 2025

BESA Research Workshop at ICON 2025 in Porto, Portugal

• One-day BESA Research Workshop. This in-classroom workshop will focus on source-level functional brain connectivity analysis with BESA Research: theory and hands-on application.
• The workshop will start on Monday, 15th September, at 10:00 a.m. and run until 17:00 p.m.
• Participation is free of charge for registerd conference attendees. Use your own (Windows) computer to complete hands-on tasks during the workshop. Please find the registration link at the bottom of this page.

Functional brain connectivity can be analyzed with high temporal and spatial precision in both event-related and resting-state EEG and MEG data. However, the methodology is complex, and there are many caveats to navigate. This workshop will present the underlying concepts, point out potential pitfalls, and walk hands-on through the analysis pipeline in BESA Research and BESA Connectivity. It is suitable for all researchers with an interest in brain connectivity estimation.

A brief outline of the workshop program:

– Theoretical introduction into source-level imaging, time-frequency and connectivity analysis

– Definition of experimental paradigm and study goals

– Data pre-processing

– Identifying brain atlas or source model for the given experiment

– Running the analysis pipeline

– Pipeline automation for group-level analysis

– Considerations for statistical analysis of results

From Registration will take place directly on the ICON conference pages once the program is finalized on https://icon2025.pt/program/scientific-program
