Practical course methods in functional imaging
Time and schedule
| Date and time: | Monday, January 24th through Friday, February 4th 2022 |
| 11:00 to 18:00, times may vary depending on availability of rooms and equipment | |
| Schedule: | Block course, 10 days |
Registration

Limited number of seats available for the practicals, please register by email to neuroimaging@med.uni-muenchen.de.
Summary
An introduction to the theory and practice of functional and structural neuroimaging, with a combination of lectures, hands on experience with MRI, and data analysis methods including: functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), morphometry and structural imaging including diffusion tensor imaging, simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG), and data analysis with e.g. SPM12, CAT12. This is a unique opportunity to get to know the newest techniques in the field of neuroimaging, and learn about the type of research that is being done in this area in a number of different faculties around Munich.
The time plan of the course is below and can be downloaded with the objectives here (PDF).
FAQ
COVID-19
To be able to still conduct the hands-on course during the expected peak of the omicron wave we kindly ask all of you to adhere to the following protocol: The course will be 2G+. Everybody please wear FFP2 masks when not speaking. We ask all of you to take a cost-free antigen test (consisting of combined swabbing throat first and then nasal cavity) 1-2h before each day at the testing facility nearby in the LMU Biocenter https://schnelltest-lmu.de/.
The current Bavarian government has said that if the incidence goes above 1000, then courses can only be offered digitally. We hope that it does not come to this, but if so, we will not be able to hold the course in this form.
