4th International FSL & FreeSurfer Course
8-11 June 2004
Marienberg Castle, Wuerzburg, Germany
http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk:8080/fslcourse/2004/
Organised by
FMRIB Centre, University of Oxford
Dept. of Neuroradiology, University of Wuerzburg

Learn the theory and practice of functional and structural brain image
analysis
We are pleased to announce the fourth FSL/FreeSurfer course, run
primarily by members of Oxford University's FMRIB Centre, as well as
researchers from MGH, UCLA and Wuerzburg. The course will be held at
the Fortress Marienberg in Wuerzburg, Germany, immediately before the
2004 Human Brain Mapping Conference. Wuerzburg is a short train
journey from Frankfurt airport, so it should be convenient to attend
the FSL course before travelling on to HBM in Budapest.
The intensive course covers both the theory and practice of functional
and structural brain image analysis. Background concepts and the
practicalities of analyses are taught in detailed lectures; these are
interleaved with hands-on practical sessions where attendees learn how
to carry out analysis for themselves on real data, with at most two
attendees per computer. By the end of the course, attendees should be
able to fully analyse their own FMRI and MRI data sets.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
COURSE CONTENT
The course is aimed at both new and existing users of these packages
and will cover both basic and advanced features. The methods covered
include
- NEW: Analysis of diffusion-weighted imaging data, including
tractography and related applications
- GLM-based analysis of FMRI data including Bayesian multi-subject
statistics (FSL - FEAT)
- Model-free (ICA) analysis of FMRI data (FSL - MELODIC)
- Brain extraction (FSL - BET)
- Image registration (alignment) and unwarping (FSL - FLIRT/FUGUE)
- Tissue-type segmentation and structural statistical analysis
e.g. atrophy (FSL - FAST/SIENA/SIENAX)
- Cortical-flattening of images and its applications (FreeSurfer)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION
Registration is 150 UK pounds for students, 300 pounds for postdocs
and other non-student academic attendees and 1200 pounds for
commercial attendees. Course registration fees include computer
practical sessions, course notes and lunches (and the course dinner is
