Hi Michael, thanks for you answer.
The problem is, I have a set of images to be processed from a GE scanner (without the E capsule) , how could I know the left-right? 

btw: It seems that I made a mistake, I just replied your letter to send mine to FSL. It's under your topic now.....sorry for that~

yours,
Ethan

There are no consistent anatomical differences if that's what you're asking. We tape a vitamin E capsule to the right side of all our subjects heads for this purpose.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi everybody:

I'm a greenhand in data processing. I don't know how to identify the left brain and the right brain. For original axial images acquired in MR scanner, is it always left part-right brain? And, we can flip the images at some steps in data conversion and preprocessing, which sometimes makes me confused at last. Is there a way I can clearly know which is left or right? 

Thanks

COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE POST-DOCTORAL POSITION
Institute for Pediatric Neuroscience, NYU Child Study Center, NYU&#8232; School&#8232; of Medicine&#8232;

The Institute for Pediatric Neuroscience is currently recruiting a&#8232; post-doctoral&#8232; fellow
interested in identifying and/or characterizing abnormalities&#8232; in&#8232; the&#8232; neural substrates of
fundamental cognitive processes, as related to&#8232; substance use disorders (e.g., nicotine,
cocaine) and psychiatric disorders that increase their risk (e.g., ADHD).&#8232;&#8232; The fellow will
work as part of a multidisciplinary team, integrating&#8232; the&#8232; findings of a broad spectrum of
approaches including:&#8232;

- resting state functional MRI&#8232;
- task-based functional MRI&#8232;
- diffusion tensor imaging&#8232;
- voxel-based morphometry&#8232;
- cortical thickness

Qualifications: The minimum qualifications for a successful candidate include:&#8232;
- completed PhD in cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, or related
fields&#8232;
- significant prior neuroimaging experience with functional MRI&#8232; (prior&#8232; experience with
EEG is a plus, but not required)&#8232;
- strong skills in usage of one or more common functional neuroimaging&#8232; (FSL, SPM,
AFNI) packages&#8232;

Programming experience in Matlab, C/C++ or similar platform is a plus&#8232;&#8232;

Anticipated start date: summer, 2009.&#8232;
