OVERVIEW |
|
This two-hour
intermediate-level course is designed for scientists and clinicians
who are interested in learning about best practices for analysis of
various MRI neuroimaging modalities. Lecturers will dissect the
analysis pipelines for functional, perfusion, diffusion and
structural imaging studies, using an example-driven approach to
highlight common problems and pitfalls. The course aims to be
interactive and entertaining, while providing pragmatic tips and
tricks from experts who have analyzed a ridiculous amount of data. |

|
|
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES |
|
Upon completion
of this course participants should be able to: |
 |
Appreciate the critical role played by
pre-processing across the range of modalities; |
|
|
Describe and implement best practices for setting
up, debugging and monitoring complicated processing
pipelines; and |
|
|
Explain problems and pitfalls that are specific to
functional, perfusion, diffusion and structural MRI. |

AUDIENCE
DESCRIPTION |
|
This
course is designed for scientists and clinicians who are
currently working with MRI neuroimaging data. The focus on
practical issues and real-world examples (rather than
background theory) makes the course most beneficial to those
who are able to put the material to immediate use. The
course assumes previous knowledge of some or all of the
imaging modalities, and attendees will benefit from prior
experience analyzing imaging data. |
