Statistical Parametric Mapping for fMRI and MRI/VBM 2024

This three-day course introduces the analysis of neuroimaging data, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI).

It covers:

• Experimental design
• Pre-processing brain images
• Quantifying structural changes in the brain (Voxel-Based Morphometry, VBM)
• Quantifying brain function (using the General Linear Model, GLM)
• Statistics for neuroimaging (frequentist and Bayesian)
• Connectivity analysis (Dynamic Causal Modelling, DCM)

The course will be divided into theoretical and practical sessions, in which the SPM software package will be used to analyse exemplar data sets. The SPM course is taught by an international faculty of neuroimaging experts from the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging (WCHN) and collaborators.

The course is suitable for beginners and more advanced users.
