We are pleased to announce the 2012 FSL & FreeSurfer Course, to be held in Auckland, New Zealand (May 14-18). It will run immediately after the ISMRM conference, which will be in Melbourne, Australia.

The intensive course covers both the theory and practice of functional and structural brain image analysis. Background concepts and the practicalities of analyses are taught in detailed lectures; these are interleaved with hands-on practical sessions where attendees learn how to carry out analysis for themselves on real data, with one computer provided for every two attendees. After completing the course, attendees should be able to analyse their own FMRI and MRI data sets.

Numbers of attendees are strictly limited and are available on a first-come-first-served basis.
