The Olin Neuropsychiatry
Research Center
and Yale University
are pleased to announce the upcoming fMRI Image Acquisition and Analyses course
to be held March 30th-April 1st, 2006 at the Olin Neuropsychiatry
Research Center
on the campus of the Institute of Living in Hartford,
Connecticut. This course will
cover SPM2 and introduce SPM5.
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; SPM5), 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.
