Summary

The 3rd Modelling Symposium (22.07.2019 - 26.07.2019) provided once more a mix of theoretical and application-oriented analyses. This year's tutor was Dr. Nikolaas N. Oosterhof -- one of the developers of PyMVPA and CoSMoMVPA. The 2019 symposium was centred around Multivariate-Pattern-Analyses; more specifically, we focussed on MVPA for EEG, MEG and fMRI data by means of CoSMoMVPA (http://www.cosmomvpa.org/). We thank our tutor and all attendees for this great symposium and hope to see you next year! For impressions, see below.

Speaker: Dr. Nikolaas N. Oosterhof

He worked with James Haxby at the CIMeC and his research focuses on the cognitive and neural representation of actions and attention. In this line of research data is acquired with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) and analysed using multi-variate pattern analysis (MVPA).

Besides empirical work, he was also involved in the development of the PyMVPA (Python) and CoSMoMVPA (Matlab) toolboxes.
