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.
** The next program is scheduled for October 4-8, 2004. **
The October 4-8, 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.
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.
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.

registration, accommodation, etc., consult the web page at:
