The Mind Research Network (Mind) and the University of New Mexico (UNM) are pleased to announce the upcoming fMRI Image Acquisition and Analyses Course to be held February 4th-6th, 2008, at the Mind Institute on the UNM campus. This meeting is being held just prior to the Society for Personality and Social Psychology meeting in Albuquerque. This course will cover Statistical Parametric Mapping 5 (SPM5 and relevant SPM2 issues).

The course faculty include Drs. Kent Kiehl and Vince Calhoun of the Mind and UNM, and Tor Wager of Columbia University. The course will cover experimental design, image acquisition, image preprocessing, and analysis using the general linear model as well as Independent Component Analyses (ICA) of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. The course is designed for fMRI researchers who range from beginning to intermediate skill levels. Participants in the course are strongly encouraged to bring laptops with Matlab 7 (or higher) installed. SPM, custom code and toolboxes will be installed on the laptops during the beginning of the course. In addition, following the lectures, participants will be trained to analyze example fMRI data on their laptops using SPM5, the Group ICA of fMRI Toolbox (GIFT), and related SPM toolboxes, such as statistical nonparametric mapping (SnPM). The course will be small, having only 30-40 students with many opportunities to work closely with the faculty. For more information and to register for the course please see:

CME credits will be provided. If you have any questions, please email Kent Kiehl (kkiehl@unm.edu).

Note that this course was formerly known as the Yale University and Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center fMRI Image Acquisition and Analyses Course.
