*ESMRMB Lectures on MR:*

*Resting State fMRI - basic concepts, methods & applications*

*Cambridge - May 19-21, 2014*

*Only few places left!*

Dear all,

After the big success of our previous workshops in Magdeburg and Vienna, we are glad to announce the *2014* *Resting State Educational Workshop* taking place in *Cambridge (UK), May 19-21*. The 3-day educational workshop, organized together with the ESMRMB - Lectures on MR Series, is specifically aimed at researchers novel to the field of resting state fMRI, who are currently planning or carrying out resting state experiments. The lectures will provide an in-depth overview of all relevant features of resting state fMRI, including physiology, data acquisition and analysis, as well as applications in both healthy and patient populations. In addition, we offer *a full day hands-on training session*, in which participants will learn to carry out the basic steps of three commonly used analysis methods: seed based correlations, ICA, and graph analysis. The workshop has an intimate and highly interactive character and provides a unique chance for participants to discuss methodological issues with experienced researchers in the field of resting state.

Confirmed faculty:

Catie Chang (NIH, USA)

Peter Fransson (Stockholm, Sweden)

Mika Rubinov (Cambridge, UK)

Vesa Kiviniemi (Oulu, Finland)

Ilya Veer (Berlin, Germany)
