Opening Ceremony

The opening ceremony and reception for the new MEG Lab in Psychology
will take place Friday, January 23rd, from 5pm-7pm in Hemmerdinger
Hall, 100 Washington Square East (part of Silver, but with its own
entrance on Wash Sq E). There will be a few short presentations about
MEG and about the history of MEG at NYU, followed by food and drink.
This will be an opportunity to talk informally with experts on MEG and
on the MEG system at NYU, including the team from the Kanazawa
Institute of Technology that designed and built our MEG system.

I believe this will be a fun and informative event, and provide a good
background for those of you contemplating MEG experiments in the
coming years.

Please RSVP to me, Alec Marantz, marantz@nyu.edu , if you think you
will be attending the ceremonies.
