Overview & Program

Workshop Overview

This activity is promoted by the Current Issues in Brain Function Study Group. It is also aligned with the feedback from the study group members in questionnaires and break-out sessions during 2022. The last Brain Function Study Group Workshop was held in 2014. The current workshop will include educational talks and two (2) keynote overview presentations while also providing ample time for discussions in the form of poster presentations and break-out sessions.

We will cover fundamental questions concerning functional MRI (fMRI) primarily in humans but also have some space for animal (preclinical) fMRI. The main idea is to relate technical and methodological topics in fMRI, mostly represented at ISMRM, to basic neuroscience, cognitive and computational euroscience, and clinical applications, mostly represented by other international scientific societies, such as OHBM and SFN. In addition, emphasis will be laid on topics that are emerging as "hot" topics with growing interest in the ISMRM brain function community, such as AI methods in fMRI, big data or multi-echo acquisitions.

Target Audience

Anyone working on brain function, especially functional MRI related approaches, basic scientists using or considering use of fMRI, clinical researchers and neuroscientists with an interest in fMRI, and undergraduate and graduate students using or considering use of fMRI.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify and make an informed choice between available contrast mechanisms;
  • List available sequences and other modalities; and
  • List and compare several post processing strategies.
