+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Course for the "Pattern Recognition in Neuroimaging Toolbox", aka. PRoNTo Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the next PRoNTo(*) course at UCL, London, UK, on June 1-2, 2017. This two-day course will offer a comprehensive coverage of all PRoNTo features and functionalities, including: - introduction to neuroimaging and machine learning concepts - specific pattern recognition methods for neuroimaging - demonstration and hands on session This year the course will also cover the new functionalities in PRoNTo version 2. For further information and registration, please see: http://www.mlnl.cs.ucl.ac.uk/pronto/prtcourses.html <http://www.mlnl.cs.ucl.ac.uk/pronto/prtcourses.html> Sincerely, J. Mourao-Miranda and C. Phillips, on behalf of the PRoNTo team. (*) PRoNTo (Pattern Recognition for Neuroimaging Toolbox) is a software toolbox based on pattern recognition techniques for the analysis of neuroimaging data. Statistical pattern recognition is a field within the area of machine learning which is concerned with automatic discovery of regularities in data through the use of computer algorithms, and with the use of these regularities to take actions such as classifying the data into different categories. In PRoNTo, brain scans are treated as spatial patterns and statistical learning models are used to identify statistical properties of the data that can be used to discriminate between experimental conditions or groups of subjects, or to predict a continuous measure/score. PRoNTo is directly compatible with SPM12 and is freely downloadable from http://www.mlnl.cs.ucl.ac.uk/pronto/ <http://www.mlnl.cs.ucl.ac.uk/pronto/> An introductory paper is also available here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12021-013-9178-1 <http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12021-013-9178-1> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
