Scope: These casual workshops examine the various brain imaging methods and associated tools that we use in our lab. The focus is on "Functional Brain Imaging", which can cover a lot of ground. There are both software/analysis and methodology workshops. The software-oriented presentations emphasize a hands-on approach to using the various brain imaging software packages lying around our lab. Many of the sessions are directed at new users who are wondering if and how a software package could help them in their research. Others are aimed at intermediate users who want to use a piece of software more efficiently or discover new analysis approaches. The methodology workshops examine how to use the various leading-edge imaging technologies at our disposal, with the aim of encouraging people to use the best tool to answer their particular brain imaging question.

Each week, a knowledgable "driver" will present a method or a software package, going through details such as a typical analysis with a sample data set, and stopping for as many side trips as possible. Sample data sets will be stored permanently at the Keck Lab so folks can practice at their leisure.

People from outside the lab are welcome to attend. Audience participation is encouraged. Each week's topic is independent, so you can pick and choose which sessions you want to attend. As you can see, there is an open slot at the end of December. If you want to suggest a topic, email Terry Oakes (troakes@.wisc.edu).
