Brain Mapping Workshop
[undergraduates, graduates, postdoc, research staff and faculty]

Every other week of the academic year, on Tuesday morning from 9 to 10:15, a brain mapping workshop is organized at the Brain Research Imaging Center. The first one is on October 14, 2008.

Location: Conference Room Q300 C at the Brain Research Imaging Center - University of Chicago Hospital (3rd floor) - 5481 S. Maryland Ave. MC-2030, Chicago, IL 60637.

This workshop addresses a number of issues related to human brain mapping for people interested in combining in vivo brain measures with questions from neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry and social sciences. These issues include:

• Brain mapping methods (e.g., fMRI, DTI, ERPs, EEG)
• Functional neuroanatomy
• Paradigm design for functional MRI experiments
• Imaging pulse sequences
• Imaging data and statistical analysis
• Specialized lectures

The worshop is also a forum where new neuroimaging projects are discussed at any stage (i.e., during conceptualization, preparation of the paradigm, data collection, data analysis, and even data interpretation.

This meeting is open to public. Anyone involved in neuroimaging research is welcome to attend this weekly workshop.

Coordinating Faculty:

• Dr. Jean Decety, Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Chicago.
• Dr. Jia-Hong Gao, Professor in the Departments of Radiology and Psychiatry at the University of Chicago.
• Dr. Keith Worsley, Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago.
