</div>
<div class="">
<div class=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif" class="">We would like to invite you to participate in our VGEM focus group session, “Interhemispheric Approaches to Understand M-I Coupling (IHMIC)” at the 2021 virtual mini-GEM workshop on January 21 (Thursday)

</div>
<div class="">We will have discussion on the following overarching questions for this GEM focus group:</div>
</div>
<div class=""><font face="Arial" class="">1. How can the level of asymmetry be quantified from various observations and modeling results?</font><br class="">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" class="">2. What will be</span> the<span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""> next step forward in understanding interhemispheric MI coupling?</span><br class="">
<span style="font-family: Arial;" class="">3. What type of research from other sub-disciplines could be helpful to close the gap in our understanding of interhemispheric MI coupling?</span></div>
