Hi Michael, thanks for you answer.
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,

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?ThanksEthan2009/5/12 Michael Milham <[log in to unmask]>
COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE POST-DOCTORAL POSITION
Institute for Pediatric Neuroscience, NYU Child Study Center, NYU
 School
 of Medicine

The Institute for Pediatric Neuroscience is currently recruiting a
 post-doctoral
 fellow
interested in identifying and/or characterizing abnormalities
 in
 the
 neural substrates of
fundamental cognitive processes, as related to
 substance use disorders (e.g., nicotine,
cocaine) and psychiatric disorders that increase their risk (e.g., ADHD).

 The fellow will
work as part of a multidisciplinary team, integrating
 the
 findings of a broad spectrum of
approaches including:

- resting state functional MRI

- task-based functional MRI

- diffusion tensor imaging

- voxel-based morphometry

- cortical thickness
Qualifications: The minimum qualifications for a successful candidate include:

- completed PhD in cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, or related
fields

- significant prior neuroimaging experience with functional MRI
 (prior
 experience with
EEG is a plus, but not required)

- strong skills in usage of one or more common functional neuroimaging
 (FSL, SPM,
AFNI) packages

Programming experience in Matlab, C/C++ or similar platform is a plus


Anticipated start date: summer, 2009.
