Statistical Parametric Mapping for fMRI/VBM
Wednesday 17 May - Friday 19 May 2023
The course will present instruction on the analysis and characterisation of neuroimaging data, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI). The three-day course will be divided into theoretical sessions covering spatial preprocessing, experimental design, statistical inference and dynamic causal modelling, and practical sessions in which the SPM software will be used to analyse exemplar data sets. This course is 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 website or by following data analysis examples in the SPM manual.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Statistical Parametric Mapping for MEG/EEG
Tuesday 20 May - Friday 2 June 2023
The course will present instruction on the analysis of EEG and MEG data. The first three days will combine theoretical presentations with practical demonstrations of the different data analysis methods implemented in SPM. On the last day participants will have the opportunity to work on SPM tutorial data sets under the supervision of the course faculty. We also invite students to use their own data for analysis. The course is suitable for both 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 scanning through Litvak et al. (2011) or Henson et al. (2019).
Please contact us if you have any questions.

F.A.Q
-
How often does the SPM course run?
The SPM for fMRI/MRI/VBM course is run in May and October each year. The SPM for EEG/MEG course is nowadays also running in May and October each year.
-
Do you teach PET as part of the programme?
We sometimes provide teaching on PET on the workshop day, however this is subject to the availability of staff. Most of the statistical concepts and techniques, which are taught on the course, are similar for both technologies.
-
Is the content of the May fMRI/MRI/VBM course different from the course offered in October?
They are the same.
-
Where can I access the materials for previous SPM courses?
Information and course material can be accessed at the following link: https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/course/
-
Does the course count towards any credits for my MSc or postgraduate course?
Yes, if you are a UCL student. Students however; must ensure they attend each session to claim these credits.
-
Can I pay for the course other than by credit or debit card?
Payment for the course is by debit or credit card only.
-
Can I get a refund of my fees if I am unable to attend?
You may be able to get a refund if you notify us at least two weeks before the start date of the course.
-
Can I get a discount if I am unemployed?
We regret we are not able to offer any discounts other than the discounted rate for students.
