[fMRI Course]

Hello Owners of the Camino Users List-Serv!
W
​hen you have a moment w​
ould you forward this to
​the list-serv?
*Thank you!*

The Mind Research Network (MIND) is pleased to invite you
​​
to the *fMRI Image Acquisition and Analyses Course* held on October 16-18,
2014 on the campus of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New
Mexico.

For more information and registration, see

Special topics include the unique issues that multiband EPI (i.e., whole
brain subsecond EPI) brings to fMRI analyses


***Email Kent A. Kiehl kkiehl at unm.edu <atkkiehl at unm.edu> or
fMRIcourse at mrn.org with any questions.


We hope to see you there. Thanks for your time, and have a great day!

The course faculty include Drs. Kent A. Kiehl and Vince D. Calhoun from the
Mind Research Network and the University of New Mexico, and Dr. Tor Wager
from the University of Colorado, Boulder’s Department of Psychology and
Neuroscience and Institute for Cognitive Science.

The course is designed for fMRI researchers who range from beginning to
intermediate skill levels. It will provide those who are just getting
started with fMRI a comprehensive set of tools and software to get started
with your own studies, and those who are more advanced will benefit from
custom code and supplements to standard analyses developed by the
instructors. We cover Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM8), independent
component analyses (ICA) of fMRI data, mediation analysis of fMRI, and
statistical nonparametric mapping (SnPM). We provide comprehensive coverage
of all aspects of experimental design, image acquisition, image
preprocessing, and analysis using the general linear model and ICA.

The course is unique in that it pairs interactive lectures with hands-on
demonstrations and work-through sessions. Each student works on their own
laptop.  Software will be installed on each student's laptop during the
beginning of the course, including Matlab (a trial version), SPM8, the
Group ICA of fMRI Toolbox (GIFT), and related SPM toolboxes, including
statistical nonparametric mapping (SnPM) and the multi-level mediation fMRI
toolbox (M3). In addition, alongside the lectures, participants will be
trained to analyze example fMRI data on their laptops using these tools.
The course will be small and interactive, with many opportunities to work
closely with the faculty. Registration will be on a first-come,
first-served basis; we apologize in advance if we cannot accommodate all
who wish to attend, but we will admit as many people as possible given the
interactive nature of the course.
