= MRI Physics and Analysis for Cognitive Neuroscientists = The aim is an informal group with a mix of discussions on: * new acquisition and analysis techniques * interesting papers or posters * proposed or completed studies using new methods * test It is hoped those leading discussions on physics, analysis methods or cognitive neuroscience keep them accessible to as many people attending as possible. If you would like to participate by giving a talk in one of these forums please email or call Rhodri Cusack. Talks will be advertised here: http://www.talks.cam.ac.uk/show/index/20874 If you would like to feed them directly into your diary application (Google Calendar, iPhone, Outlook etc) add this calendar: webcal://www.talks.cam.ac.uk/show/ics/20874 Potential future topics: * Useful software from our labs/ best practice in programming? * Quantitative analysis of anatomy? * Representational Similarity Analysis? * Alternatives to BOLD for fMRI? If you have a suggestion please let me know. In reverse date order... == Ageing Neuroscience Day (Friday June 18, CBU Lecture Theatre) == These talks either focus on ageing, or present methods that are relevant to the study of ageing. Presentations should be 15-20 minutes, to leave time for 10-15 mins discussion. || 9.35 || Rhodri Cusack || CBU || Introduction- Ageing Neuroscience Methods and the Cam-Can project || || 9.45 || Jonathan Peelle || CBU || Measuring age-related cortical change using voxel-based morphometry || || 10.15 || '' [coffee] '' || '' outside lecture theatre - buy sandwich for lunch '' || || 10.30 || Guillaume Auzias || Laboratoire des Sciences de l'Information et des Systèmes, Marseille || DISCO: a coherent framework for brain registration under sulcal constraints || || 11.00 || Rik Henson || CBU || Modelling effect of age on brain-behaviour relations [[attachment:MRI_Ageing_Day_Henson_June10.ppt|slides]] || || 11.30 || Joao Pereira || DMS, Neurology Unit || New developments in morphometry in dementia || || 12.00 || '' [break for lunch] '' || || || || 12.45 || Julio Acosta-Cabronero || DMS, Neurology Unit || DTI in dementia || || 13.15 || Marta Correia || CBU ||An overview of DTI methods in Ageing || || 13.45 || David Meunier || CSLB || Age-related changes in modular organization of human brain functional networks || || 14.15 || '' [coffee] '' || '' outside lecture theatre '' || || 14.30 || Rhodri Cusack || CBU || The effect of draining veins on the BOLD signal || || 15.00 || Stefan Hetzer || CBU || Cerebral Perfusion Changes over Time detected by Arterial Spin Labeling || || 15.30 || Patrick Rabbitt || Oxford || Decomposing effects of gross brain changes on cognitive abilities [[attachment:Rabbitt_Cambridge_June10.ppt|slides]] || || 16.00 || '' [close] '' || || || == Diffusion Imaging Day (Friday Dec 4, CBU Lecture Theatre) == ||9.30 ||Marta Correia ||Diffusion Tensor Imaging: from deterministic to probabilistic modelling [[attachment:DTIday_MMC.ppt|slides]] || || 10.00 || Emmanuel Stamatakis || Comparison of white matter indices in healthy ageing || || 10.30 || '' [coffee] '' || '' outside lecture theatre - buy sandwich 10.30-10.40 '' || || 11.00 || Eleftherios Garyfallidis || Developing dMRI software: '''fos''' and '''dipy''' || || 11.30 || John Griffiths || Structural connectivity in the neural language system: dorsal and ventral pathways are critical for syntax || || 12.00 || Mirjana Bozic || Dorsal & ventral language pathways || || 12.30 || '' [lunch] '' || '' coffee will be provided 1-1.30 '' || || 1.30 || Ian Nimmo-Smith || Voxel level modeling of the dMRI signal || || 2.00 || Virginia Newcombe || Regional pathophysiology, tissue fate and outcome in traumatic brain injury; insights from diffusion tensor imaging || || 2.30 || Discussion of protocols || Decide upon new default DTI protocol || == Real-time fMRI day (Monday 23 Nov, CBU Lecture Theatre) == || 9.30 || Guy Williams || || || 10.00 || Martin Monti || Speak to me: communicating thoughts with real-time fMRI || || 10.30 || [coffee] || || || 11.00 || Rhodri Cusack || Using our open-source real-time system for DAI and other applications || || 11.30 || Jessica Grahn || Using real-time fMRI for neurofeedback: Initial attempts || == MVPA day (Monday 26 Oct) == A special, one-off longer session to discuss MVPA (multi-voxel pattern analysis).
