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:
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.
