Aim

The course will focus on how to conduct neuroimaging studies using structural and functional MRI data within the framework of Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM). This 4 day course will be divided into two modules with theoretical and practical sessions covering all aspects of imaging data analysis from spatial pre-processing to statistical inference, to reporting results. The first module of this course is suitable for beginners, the second is intended for those with previous experience of SPM. See detailed programme below.

 

 

Faculty

The faculty includes collegues from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging (UCL, London UK) - John Ashburner, Guillaume Flandin - and from the Laboratoire de recherche en neuroimagerie (DNC - CHUV, Lausanne) - Ferath Kherif, Bogdan Draganski, Jürgen Dukart, Kerstin Preuschoff and others.
