It may be of interest to the 'Task Independent Fluctuations' group that the NYU_CSC_TestRetest Project (http://www.nitrc.org/projects/nyu_trt/) has just posted a news item regarding the release of a Test-Retest Resting-State fMRI Dataset (n = 25). See http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=1141 for further information.

Advances in Resting-state fMRI
Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA

Stanford University is hosting a one-day symposium on June 17th entitled "Advances in Resting-state fMRI" as a satellite meeting to this year's HBM conference. The meeting will provide the opportunity for leaders in the
field of resting-state fMRI to meet and exchange ideas in a setting more conducive to group discussion of important issues in the field. For more information and registration please visit http://restingstate.stanford.edu/.

Contact Dr. Jessica Damoiseaux (jeske@stanford.edu) or Dr. Lucina Uddin
(lucina@stanford.edu) with additional questions.

Task Independent Fluctuations Discussion Group is Active

Daniel Handwerker — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 3:22:04 GMT

This group is an attempt to build forum where people can learn and discuss a topic in a community that's larger than users of a particular modality or software package. We will focus on the methodology and applications of task independent fluctuation measures including: connectivity maps of fMRI resting state scans, research using EEG/MEG/PET etc, methods to remove non-neural fluctuations, and applications to clinical populations.

The goal will be to make this a very good resource for new users who want to start studying this topic and for people who want to be able to directly compare the methods used by different groups. The wiki contains some information including a list of references and a data analysis stream and the forum will hopefully be a place for discussion. Scripts and small programs can also be shared through this group.
