The
The course faculty include Drs. Kent Kiehl and Vince Calhoun of the Olin
Neuropsychiatry Research Center and Yale University, and Tom Nichols of the University
of Michigan. The course will cover experimental design, image acquisition, image
preprocessing, and analysis using the general linear model as well as Independent
Component Analyses (ICA) of functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI) data. The course is designed for fMRI researchers who range from
beginning to intermediate skill levels. Participants in the course are strongly
encouraged to bring laptops with Matlab 6.5 (or higher) installed. Custom code
and toolboxes will be installed on the laptops during the beginning of the
course. In addition, following the lectures, participants will be trained to
analyze example data on their laptops using Statistical
Parametric Mapping (SPM2 ), the Group ICA of fMRI Toolbox (GIFT), and
related toolboxes including the SPM diagnostic (SPMd) and
the nonparametric (SnPM) toolboxes. The course will be small, having only
30-40 students with many opportunities to work closely with the
faculty. For more information and to register for the course please

CME credits will be provided.
