Timetable SPM Course October 2008
Short Course on:
Statistical Parametric Mapping for fMRI 2010
(Presented by the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging)
May 13 (Thurs) - 15 (Sat) 2010
The course will present instruction on the analysis andcharacterisation of functional imagingdata.This includes Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), functional MRI (fMRI), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET).The three-day course will be divided into theoreticalsessions covering experimental design and statistical inference and practicalsessions in which SPM will be usedto analyse exemplar data sets. 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 (
