4th FMRI analysis with AFNI and
SUMA Course
6-10 June, 2006
CNR Campus, Pisa.
Dear Brain Mind & Life
Members,
the MRI Lab of the Institute of
Clinical Physiology of the C.N.R. and the Clinical Biochemistry Lab of the
University of Pisa organize the 4th FMRI analysis with AFNI and SUMA course.
The course is scheduled in Pisa, Italy for Tuesday 6- Saturday 10 June, 2006.
This is a course designed to teach participants the details of volume- and
surface-based FMRI analysis using AFNI and SUMA software (for any additional
information on the software, please visit http://afni.nimh.nih.gov).
The 5-Day
intensive workshop includes lectures on pre- and post processing of FMRI data
(image registration, intra- and inter-subject statistical analysis with linear
regression, deconvolution, ANOVA) hands on sessions (covering statistical
analysis, ROI drawing, volume rendering, surface mapping, etc.), and seminars
on the basic principles of FMRI physics and on designing and processing FMRI
experiments for studying drug effects on the brain.
Drs. Robert W. Cox, Ziad S. Saad
and Peggy Christidis, from the Scientific and Statistical Computing Core of the
NIMH Intramural Research Program, and Dr. Eliot Stein from NIDA will be conducting
the workshop. Classes will be held at the C.N.R. Research Campus in Pisa.
