A team of researchers and guests of the University of Glasgow’s Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology (INP) were hosted at a Civic Reception in the Glasgow City Chambers to mark the start of the third annual CuttingEEG Symposium.
The Symposium, which ran from 19–22 June, brought together an impressive collection of international experts to discuss and showcase the latest developments in the field of electroencephalography (EEG).
EEG records electrical activity of the brain, with applications generally focusing on the neural oscillations commonly known as "brain waves" that can be observed in EEG signals. The popularity of EEG research has grown over recent years in its relation to the understanding of human cognitive function.
This year’s event was organised by Dr Marios Philiastides, and welcomed over two hundred and fifty participants to engage in presentations, workshops, poster sessions and debates, which were held between the University’s Sir Charles Wilson, Boyd Orr and James Watt Buildings.
Professor Philippe Schyns, Director of the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology said: “Many thanks to Marios, his team and support for organising what has been the most successful CuttingEEG conference so far in terms of number of participants, diversity of cutting edge topics, prominent international speakers and participation from the audience.
“The success of this event has projected the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi), the INP, the School of Psychology and the University of Glasgow clearly on the international scene.”
