We are pleased to announce a new AFNI Bootcamp, taking place Oct 28-30, 2024.
Registration is free and open to both NIH and non-NIH researchers. The course is aimed at people who have some familiarity with FMRI, and it is not an primer in the basics of FMRI itself. The Bootcamp is an introduction to the visualization, processing, analysis and checking of FMRI data, particularly using AFNI software to facilitate this. It will be most useful to you if you are already analyzing or will be analyzing some FMRI data shortly thereafter.
Registration and links for setup and useful background/preparation material are here .
A couple important points:
- Due to facility logistics, this will be held virtually, and we will send out the Bootcamp link to registrants nearer to the start of class.
- If a lecture hall becomes available on campus, we will try to also add the in-person option for those who can make it—but it will still be streamed virtually in any case.
- We are trying something new: splitting the full load of 5 day content into two separate sessions. This Part 1 (three days) will focus on basic visualization and single subject FMRI processing, including discussions of alignment, templates, ROIs and quality control.
- Stay tuned for Part 2 (Degrees of Freedom: Revenge of the Bayesian Multilevel Models), which might take place in December and focus on group analysis, results reporting, surface analysis and further topics.
