2022 ERP Boot Camp- Now Taking Applications
Steven J Luck
The UC-Davis/SDSU ERP Boot Camp, a 10-day NIH-funded summer workshop on the ERP technique, will be held July 18-27, 2022. This year’s workshop will take place in Davis, California at the UC-Davis Center for Mind & Brain. It is intended for individuals who want to gain a deep understanding of the ERP technique, including both basic scientists and clinical/translational researchers.
Topics will include:
- Neural origins of ERPs
- The design and interpretation of ERP experiments
- EEG data acquisition
- Filtering, artifact rejection, and artifact correction
- Measuring and analyzing ERP components
- Advanced methods, such as time-frequency analysis and multivariate pattern analysis
- Setting up and running an ERP lab
The Boot Camp consists of lectures on these topics, accompanied by guided discussions of ERP papers, activities, and individual consultations. It is led by Steve Luck and Emily Kappenman, and the faculty includes many distinguished ERP researchers from UC-Davis and other universities.
Previous ERP Boot Camp participants have come from around the world and have included graduate students, postdocs, research scientists, and faculty. They have included psychologists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, neurologists, audiologists, linguists, and more. The ERP Boot Camp provides a deep exploration of ERPs, so we require that graduate students and postdocs have had at least one year of intensive ERP experience before attending the Boot Camp (this requirement is waived for faculty-level participants). We strongly encourage applications from individuals from underrepresented groups and disadvantaged backgrounds.
Funding is available from NIH to defray most or all of the costs of attending the Boot Camp. There is no registration fee. We typically accept 30-32 U.S. citizens and permanent residents, along with 3-5 participants who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
COVID Information: We are currently planning to hold the 2022 Boot Camp as an in-person event, because this maximizes both learning and networking. However, there are many uncertainties about the COVID-19 pandemic, so these plans are subject to change. If the event is held in person, we will require that everyone is fully vaccinated, and we will also implement any other safety measures that are warranted at the time of the workshop.
Applications for the 2022 workshop are now being accepted. Applications are due by April 1, 2022, and admissions decisions will be announced in early May. For more information and the application form, see https://erpinfo.org/the-erp-boot-camp/
