Fwd: Live streaming of the UCLA/Semel Advanced Imaging Summer program begins 7/21/14

FYI ------------------ On behalf of the course organizers, I am very pleased to announce that the Eighth Annual UCLA/Semel Advanced Neuroimaging Summer Program will be streamed *live beginning at:* *08:30 PDT (15:30 GMT) July 21, 2014 through July 31, 2014* The complete schedule can be found on the *program web site* <http://www.brainmapping.org/NITP/Summer2014.php>, together with slides, exercises and other didactic materials as they become available. There you will also find links to the streaming video, and to our lecture archive, so that you can watch in the comfort of your own time zone. The UCLA Neuroimaging Training Program Summer Course is designed for advanced users, from graduate students to tenured faculty, who have significant experience in research using functional imaging, especially functional MRI. This year's program will cover a broad range of topics including data acquisition, experimental design, fMRI data processing, anatomical imaging, machine learning and others. The course schedule is available now at http://www.brainmapping.org/NITP/Summer2014.php. Each year, the emphasis of the course differs. For the 2014 program we will be paying special attention to ways in which cutting-edge applications of functional MRI, and its related methods, can help answer big questions in neuroscience. 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
