Functional
Connectivity: MRI Measures of Spontaneous Fluctuations in Intrinsic
Networks |
| SKILL LEVEL:
Advanced |
| ORGANIZERS:
James J. Pekar, Ph.D. &
Jonathan R. Polimeni, Ph.D. |
| Saturday, 10 May 2014
(14:00 - 18:00) |

|
|
| OVERVIEW |
|
This course will review advances
in the use of BOLD fMRI to study function connectivity of the brain
in the absence of explicit tasks. |
| |
| TARGET AUDIENCE |
|
Researchers from a broad range of
backgrounds interested in the development and application of
functional MRI methods to address questions in basic and applied
neuroscience.
|
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
As a result of attending this
course, participants should be able to: |
- Overview our
understanding of connectivity as detected through task-free
fMRI;
- Evaluate multiple
technical approaches to modeling brain networks; and
- Recognize challenges and
opportunities to apply functional connectivity methods to
questions in basic and applied neuroscience.
