Our team is currently working on bringing the CNSP2025 Workshop to you! It will take place online on September 2-3, 2025.

This year, for the first time, we are also organizing a CNSP Hackathon. It will take place in Maastricht, Netherlands on September 12-14, 2025. More details coming soon. You will get an opportunity to put your coding skills to the test and solve real problems in natural sensory processing.

Please stay tuned for more details and registration information!

About:

Methodologies for neural signal processing in the case of natural scenes and sound perception.

• Talks from experts in the field
• Tutorials on encoding and decoding models for neural signal analysis
• Tutorial sessions on specific study cases and/or methodologies
• Q/A sessions and continuous support throughout the workshop

Participants?

• Researchers interested in studying natural speech or music perception with EEG/MEG/ECoG, but have no experience with ecologically-valid experiments.
• Researchers with experience in continuous sensory perception and tools such as the mTRF-Toolbox, who are interested in deepening their understanding and in expanding their set of tools.

Prerequisites?

• Some experience with neural signal processing (e.g., EEG, MEG, or ECoG).
• Some programming experience (Matlab/Python) for the hands-on sessions.
• A practical interest in applying these notions.

What will you learn?

• Theoretical insights into system identification and multivariate linear methods for neural signal analysis
• Practical guidelines on how to prepare, process, and interpret your data
• Practical knowledge of tools for neural signal analysis such as the mTRF-Toolbox

BYOD! (Bring your own dataset)

We will provide you with guidelines to prepare your own data for the practical sessions. We can then answer your specific question during the Q/A sessions.
Datasets will be available, if you don't have your own.
