These meetings are specifically for people who do research using biomeasures equipment (EEG, GSR, respiration, heart rate etc). Common topics are planning (how can we all do what we need to do without getting in each other’s way), trouble using particular programs or equipment, requests for new software (features), design and analysis issues, etc.

ILS researchers who want to use the Biosemi/Nexus facilities are required to present their plans at the biolab user meeting, and to attend the meetings while the experiment is running. By sharing lab experiences users can learn from each other. Invitations are sent by email. In case you didn’t receive an invitation, please feel welcome to attend the meetings anyway. You’ll find the dates on this page.

We don’t record meeting minutes, but the main topics under discussion will be listed here.
