The Second Brain Connectivity Course is an intermediate-level, 5-day workshop designed for investigators having familiarity with the fundamental principles of fMRI data acquisition and analysis.
The course will be held at the Grenoble Institute of Neuroscience in Grenoble, FRANCE from Monday 21 to Friday 25, September 2015.
Overview
The course will give an overview of currently used methods for brain connectivity analysis resting-state fMRI and Diffusion Imaging.
After the course, attendees be able to select the appropriate approach (model or data driven), and software tool to analyze a neuroimaging data set. They will also be able to choose the optimal protocol for MRI data acquisition for resting state of task-related fMRI studies.
Designed to help students, clinicians and neuroscience investigators in planning and analyzing fMRI studies, this course includes both presentations of theoretical background issues along with practical demonstrations and exercises for each technique discussed.
The course will be conducted in English. To maintain a high degree of interaction between students and faculty, the class size will be limited to 45.
Main Topics
- Seed-based Functional Connectivity (Connectivity Toolbox) for individual and group analysis
- Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis (Diffusionnist) for individual and group analysis including longitudinal analysis and analysis of brains with lesions.
- Graph analysis using wavelets(Brainwaver) for individual and group analysis
- Arttifact Detection Tools (ART) for outliers detection, motion analysis and artifact removal. http://www.nitrc.org
- Connectome Analysis
Speaker list
- Jonas Richiardi (Stanford University)
- Chantal Delon Martin (GIN Grenoble)
- Assia Jaillard (CHU-Grenoble)
- Felix Renard (CHU-Grenoble)
- Maite Termenon (GIN Grenoble)
- Thomas Zeffiro (Neurometrika; Harvard University)
During the course:
As the sessions will include software demonstrations and tutorials, participants are expected to bring a laptop with MATLAB, SPM12 and MRIcron already installed.
Afternoons will include laboratory sessions during which participants will gather in small groups to work with the faculty through the stages of analyzing data from example experiments.
Location: .Lectures will be held in the Grenoble Institute of Neuroscience which is located in the CHU of Grenoble.
