Functional MRI Methods Workshop



THIS PAGE IS OUT OF DATE. PLEASE SEE THE NEW PAGE ON THE VUIIS WIKI




Time: 4:00 pm
Location: AA-1119 MCN

Directions: The new building is just a few steps west of the corner of Medical Center Drive and 21st Ave S, on the north side of Medical Center Drive. Enter via the large glass-faced front, which faces the Medical Arts Building across the street. Take the elevator to the 1st floor - the stair doors are locked - and the conference room is at the back of the building on the right (in the northwest corner).

This twice-monthly workshop is an opportunity for imaging scientists and those who use imaging in their research to get together and discuss new problems and new approaches in imaging. We focus on functional MRI. Please advertise this to your friends, postdocs, and students, and feel free to send me requests for specific topics of interest to you, or offers to present or lead a workshop.

I send email reminders before each meeting. To get on or off the list, email me: baxter.rogers at vanderbilt.edu.
