| OVERVIEW |
|
Part 2 of the course (Sunday
afternoon) focuses on recent advances in using FMRI to study brain
connectivity. This part of the course will begin with didactic
lectures, then transition to a more interactive format. This latter
part of the course will include a series of rapid-fire 5-minute
talks highlighting the challenges to using FMRI for connectivity in
different regimes, and end with a panel discussion by the Sunday
afternoon faculty. |
| |
| 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: |
- Overview our current
understanding of connectivity as detected through task-absent
fMRI;
- Describe several
technical approaches to connectivity and network modeling using
fMRI; and
- Recognize challenges and
opportunities applying fMRI connectivity analysis to basic and
clinical neuroscience, from single subjects to large
populations.
