Getting started

Getting started at the cognitive psychology unit

Project logs and management

Inspired by the Voytek lab, make a core GitHub repository (pick a useful, descriptive name) for your project and add anne-urai as a collaborator (feel free to keep it private). Then, add a GitHub project where we can start to list all ideas and plans as issues. At each meeting, we’ll review the project status and make plans.

Meetings

Booking a room at Leiden Uni

Conferences

Feel free to explore meetings and conferences, and discuss where you’d like to go!

I normally go to the Dutch NVP (more cognitive) or DNM (more neuro) meetings in person, and to the virtual NeuroMatch conferences. Depending on your career stage and interests, you can consider attending FENS, SfN, ECVP, ASSC, CCN, Cosyne, CogSci.

The Transmitter keeps a great overview of neuroscience meetings.

Smaller meetings

Summer schools

I strongly encourage students and postdocs to attend at least one summer school.

Laptop

Once you get a university laptop (talk to Anne before ordering it, to make sure we get you something useful) request it to switch to ‘semi-managed’. Without doing this, you won’t be able to install much software. Ask Anne how to best do this.
