Radiologists and neuroscientists need to know what to do with MRI data after they have collected it on a (Siemens) scanner. That is where the AFNI Bootcamp comes in. The AFNI Bootcamp is an intensive course that teaches clinicians and scientists how to take raw data from a (Siemens) MRI scanner and process it from start to finish. Topics include, preprocessing, alignment of functional data to a standard template brain, quality control, data visualization, and (single subject and group) data analyses. The 3-day intensive course is useful to anyone working with fMRI data or planning to do so.
Participants will need to bring a laptop with AFNI installed. AFNI is available free (in C source code format, and some precompiled binaries) for research purposes. If you have difficulties installing AFNI, or have not gotten onto the IBIC AFNI Bootcamp mailing list, email Andrew Persichetti ([email protected]).
Target Audience: Radiologists, Neuroscientists and anyone working with fMRI data or planning to do so.
Speakers: Dr. Paul Taylor and Dr. Gang Chen from the AFNI team of the Scientific and Statistical Computing Core in the National Institute of Mental Health.
Questions? Contact Andrew Persichetti ([email protected])
Coffee and snacks will be provided during the breaks. We encourage bootcamp participants to have lunch at one of the many restaurants on and around the Thomas Jefferson University campus.
