| OVERVIEW |
|
This one day course will
provide an in-depth and advanced overview of the latest
functional MRI processing methods and available
software, an in-depth look at the most current concepts
in fMRI, as well as the latest assessment of what are
the limits in temporal resolution, spatial resolution,
and interpretability. The intended audience is advanced
fMRI users and developers - including physicists,
statisticians, mathematicians, and clinicians - who are
very comfortable working in highly technical domains
that involve processing or pulse programming, but who
desire an overview of what's available to help them
advance in the field of fMRI methodology. |

| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
|
Upon completion of this
case based session, participants should be able to:
- Implement, with minimal additional instruction,
at least 2 of the most common processing platforms;
- Select the most useful processing platform for
their research needs;
- Explain the underlying principles of group
analysis, connectivity, resting state analysis, and
classification;
- Compare and contrast various methods for
studying resting state fluctuations;
- Describe the advantages and disadvantages of
ICS;
- Describe the various methods for fMRI decoding
as well as their limits;
- Explain what determines the spatial, temporal,
and interpretive limits of fMRI; and
- Explain precisely what influences resting state
fluctuations.
