On December 2^nd to 5th, the NCCR Affective Sciences, the CISA, and the Centre de Neuroscience will organize a training workshop on functional MRI analysis. Seven fMRI experts will train the participants to analyze fMRI data with the SPM5 software in a series of practical courses. These courses are designed for beginners who plan to use fMRI in future experiments. Good knowledge of neuroscience and psychology are required (e.g., Master level). These courses will cover all usual analysis steps in fMRI from acquisition and pre-processing to the first and second levels of analysis including beta extraction, ROIs and PPI analyses as well as a some discussion on interpretation issues. A theoretical introduction to MR physics and the neurophysiological basis of fMRI signals will be given at the beginning of the course. The course will be given in English or in French with English-written visual support, and will take place at UniMail.

Members of the doctoral school attending this course will validate 2 ECTS.
