We are pleased to announce that registration for the 2010 SPM Course at Zurich is now open!
HELD ANNUALLY SINCE 2007,
OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE
COVERAGE OF ALL MRI-RELATED ASPECTS OF SPM, INCLUDING
- Spatial preprocessing & voxel-based morphometry
- Statistical analysis of fMRI data with the General Linear Model - Bayesian analysis methods - Effective connectivity analysis with Dynamic Causal Modeling for fMRI THE FACULTY INCLUDES
- Kay Brodersen (Zurich) - Justin Chumbley (Zurich) - Jean Daunizeau (Zurich)
- Hanneke den Ouden (Nijmegen) - Guillaume Flandin (London) - Lars Kasper (Zurich) - Tom Nichols (London) - Rosalyn Moran (London) - Kerstin Preuschoff (Zurich) - Ged Ridgway (London) - Christian Ruff (London)
- Klaas Enno Stephan (Zurich &
London)
PARTICULAR FEATURES OF THIS COURSE
- coverage of cutting-edge analysis tools in SPM8
- two practical and user-driven sessions (3h each) in small
groups at the computer
-
all presentations are generously timed,
allowing for plenty of questions and in-depth discussions - regular coffee breaks between talks - to keep concentration up and allow for a maximum of interactions amongst participants and faculty

PRACTICAL SESSIONS
ON THURSDAY & FRIDAY, 15:00 – 18:00
These are practical exercises driven by the interests and questions of the participants which use the example data sets from the SPM web site!
TOPICS
1. Single subject analysis of blocked and event-related fMRI data
2. Batch programming of fMRI data analysis
3. Group analysis of event-related fMRI data
4. Bayesian analyses of fMRI data in SPM
5. Voxel-based morphometry
6. Dynamic Causal Modelling
7. Statistical non-parametric mapping (SnPM)
8. Multivariate methods & decoding
-Coffee break approx. From 16:30 – 16:45, depending on group dynamics
REGISTRATION FOR THE
SPM COURSE 2010
REGISTRATION
In order to ensure small group sizes for the practical sessions,
a maximum of 60 participants will be accepted for this course
on a first-come, first-served basis. The course fee is CHF 750.
