The Visiting Fellowship Program in Functional MRI continues to be =
offered
three times per year in Charlestown (5 minutes from Boston), =
Massachusetts.
It is sponsored by the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical =
Imaging
and the The MGH-NMR Center.

=20

 **  The next program is scheduled for  March 1-5, 2004.  **

=20

 The  March 1-5, 2004 program is a 5-Day intensive workshop.  =
Participants
attend lectures, have ample time for informal discussion with the =
lecturers,
attend a "demonstration" fMRI experiment, get some hands-on experience =
with
data analysis, design a group fMRI experiment, and implement, execute, =
and
analyze the data from that experiment.=20

=20

   The main focus is on the basics of the physics, experimental design, =
and
data analysis of fMRI-based experiments.  It serves as a rapid and =
thorough
introduction to people new to the field, who are considering active =
research
or are planning and carrying experiments based on fMRI.  Many =
laboratories
have found this an efficient way to get new people started (in contrast =
to
having to wait for a full semester's normal academic program).  =
Participants
with a modest amount of experience in an fMRI-based laboratory, and who =
are
ready for a more thorough presentation of the foundations, also report
getting a great deal from the program.

=20

   The emphasis continues to be on theoretical basics, with hands-on
experimental design workshops and detailed discussion of issues =
associated
with data analysis and data-analysis-software packages.  However, this =
is
not primarily a course designed to teach participants the details of =
using
any specific package.
