Methods for Dummies 2006

The SPM Methods for Dummies course for 2006 has now finished. 

Slides from the course can be downloaded below

 

 

Below is the timetable for MfD 2006.  Meetings are normally held from 12.30-1.30 in the 4th Floor Seminar room at 12 Queen Square, FIL, UCL.  We have had a great response from you this year and so are able to expand the course a little to include some new topics related to SPM5 for EEG and MEG.

 

Lots of you have volunteered to give talks on topics that you don't know much about, which is great. Here are some ideas about how to find out more about your topic: Ask the experts: Will Penny in particular (w.penny@fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk) or ask us and we will guide you to other experts you can contact.   At the bottom of the page are links to the previous MfD presentations, and you could also contact previous presenters to find out what they found useful.  Look at the Human Brain  Function website,  this is the  book written to explain the methods behind SPM. Look at the SPM web pages. Ask the other people at MFD what they'd like to know about the subject. 

 

Remember, the aim is to make these topics understandable to people like yourselves, who may know very little about statistics, imaging or SPM. You're not trying to teach experts. When you are planning you talk, please bear in mind that we've had lots of requests for practical examples.  For some of the topics it would be great to include worked examples, either PET or fMRI, EEG or MEG, to illustrate what you are describing.

 

Good Luck!

Previous MfD slides and SPM Resources:

 

Below are links for the previous Methods For Dummies SPM courses which have been run at the FIL.  In addition, there are links for further information on MRI Physics, and links to pages hosted by the CBU, Cambridge.  Probably the best place to go for a thorough  grounding in the theory underlying Statistical Parametric Mapping and its implementation using the SPM software is the Human Brain Function Textbook.  Specific questions relating to SPM5 use, whether the imaging modality is fMRI, PET, EEG or MEG, try searching the SPM email archives, or posting a question yourself.
