| OVERVIEW |
| Part 1 of the course
(Saturday afternoon) will follow a traditional didactic format,
starting with four lectures covering the basics of functional MRI,
assuming no knowledge of this technique but some familiarity with
MRI. The second set of four lectures will cover more advanced,
cutting-edge topics in fMRI. |
| |
| TARGET AUDIENCE |
| Researchers from a broad
range of backgrounds (methodological, basic and clinical
neuroscience) who are interested in the development and
application of functional MRI to address neuroscientific questions.
Following introductory lectures aimed at novices, the course will
delve into advanced topics at the state-of-the-art in fMRI. |
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course,
participants should be able to: |
- Explain the fundamentals
that underlie functional MRI as a technique, including the
source of fMRI signal changes, acquisition techniques and
analysis basics;
- Assess how fMRI and
related techniques can be used to study neuro-vascular
properties;
- Overview the current
state-of-the-art in high spatial and temporal resolution fMRI;
- Appraise the current
state-of-the-art in high spatial and temporal resolution fMRI;
and
- Evaluate the potential
benefits of combining FMRI with other imaging modalities, along
with the associated challenges.
