SPM Courses

London, May & October 2012

The FIL SPM course on using Statistical Parametric Mapping for neuroimaging is held each May and October as part of the Institute of Neurology's short course programme.

Since 2010, we provide two separate SPM courses reflecting the different imaging modalities. There is a new three-day course on SPM for EEG/MEG followed by the long-established three-day course on SPM for fMRI/VBM/PET. Both courses are suitable for beginners and more advanced users. We advise students to gain at least some minimal familiarity with the methodology, for example, from reading introductory articles available from the SPM web page or by following data analysis examples in the SPM manual.

The next SPM courses in London will take place on 14-16 May 2012 (MEG/EEG) and 17-19 May 2012 (MRI/fMRI) and are organised through the Institute of Neurology.

Please contact Jean Reynolds at the ION to register.
