Under certain conditions, students on the MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging can claim a small amount of money (£100 in 2010/11; up-to-date amount to be announced by email) for the payment of inconvenience allowances to subjects or for other scientific purposes (e.g. conference registration fees, hardware purchase etc).
