Final call!!
The Mind Research Network (MRN) fMRI Image Acquisition and Analyses Course with SPM and ICA: August 3-5, 2017
Celebrating our 12th year!
The course faculty include:
Kent Kiehl (The Mind Research Network and the University of New Mexico)
Vince Calhoun (The Mind Research Network and the University of New Mexico)
Tor Wager (University of Colorado at Boulder and the Institute for Cognitive Science)
Dates and Time: August 3-5, 2017 from 8:00am to 6:00pm
Location: The Mind Research Network, 1101 Yale Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87106; (505) 417-3387
Description: The course is designed for fMRI researchers who range from beginning to intermediate skill levels. Novice fMRI researchers benefit from a comprehensive set of tools and software, and intermediate/advanced researchers benefit from a custom code and supplements to standard analyses developed by the instructors. The course covers Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM8/12), independent component analyses (ICA) of fMRI data, mediation analysis of fMRI, statistical non-parametric mapping (SnPM), and provides a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of experimental design, image acquisition, image pre-processing, and analysis.
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), SPM8/12, the Group ICA of fMRI Toolbox (GIFT), and related SPM toolboxes, including statistical non-parametric mapping (SnPM) and the multi-level mediation fMRItoolbox (M3). In addition, participants will be trained to analyze example fMRI data 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.
