Workshops
Workshop
Neuroimaging Statistics Workshop
Format: 2x half-day
The Neuroimaging Statistics Workshop will showcase emerging methods in brain image modeling and analysis. It combines lectures by leaders in neuroimaging statistics with opportunities to network among students and researchers.
Workshop
EEG101 Workshop
Format: 2x half-day
The INDoS and EEG101 EU COST actions are bringing together the EEG and wider neuroimaging community to develop and collaborate on standardized tools and protocols for analysis and reporting, curate and harmonise large datasets to establish centralized platforms for resource sharing and collaboration.
Workshop
BIDS Workshop
Format: half-day
The BIDS workshop will educate and discuss standards for prescribing a formal way to organize various imaging data types and metadata. It simplifies communication and collaboration between users and enables easier data validation and software development.
Workshop
hMRI Workshop
Format: half-day
The hMRI workshop will introduce quantitative MRI methods and their analysis via the hMRI-toolbox embedded in SPM. It allows the estimation of high-quality multi-parameter qMRI maps (R1, R2*, PD and MT) followed by spatial registration for statistical analysis.
