The University of Michigan announces a training course in functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI). Functional MRI has become an important addition to
the toolbox of cognitive and affective neuroscientists, but substantial
training is required to implement an fMRI experiment. The University will
offer a 2-week intensive course in August, 2007 (8/6/2007 8/17/2007) that
will train attendees on the motivation for using fMRI, the physics that
underlies the technique, the design of experiments, the acquisition of data,
the analysis of those data, and the interpretation of brain activations that
result.
The course is intended for potential users of the technique, including
graduate and postdoctoral students, as well as established biomedical
researchers who wish to incorporate this technique into their work. Via the
sponsorship of a grant from the National Institutes of Health, the course is
able to enroll up to 20 students from outside the University of Michigan, and
to support the travel and subsistence costs of those visitors.
Interested researchers should visit the following website that gives details
of the course as it was offered in August, 2006:

Entrance into the course is by application only, and applications will not be
accepted after January 15, 2007. Applications can be downloaded at the
