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

Every other week of the academic year, on Tuesday afternoon from 4 to 5:15, a brain mapping workshop is organized at the Brain Research Imaging Center.

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 neurology, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, social psychology, developmental science, psychiatry and economics. 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. Students can register for the workshop and get credit.

Coordinating Faculty:

• Dr. Jean Decety, Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry.
• Dr. Jia-Hong Gao, Professor in the Departments of Radiology and Psychiatry.
