Our goal in so doing is to help gain perspective on fMRI's role. As always, we will include extraordinary international faculty, who will present didactics in slides and talks, and who will interact one-on-one with the course attendees. Attendees will design, run and analyze experimental studies directed at unresolved questions in neuroimaging, using the extraordinary research facilities available to the UCLA NeuroImaging Training Program. We hope that you will take advantage of the program. Please share this announcement with your colleagues. --/Mark Cohen/ The UCLA Neuroimaging Training Program is funded by generous awards from the National Institutes of Health, grant numbers R90 DA022768 and T90 DA023422
