[Homer-users] Homer Testimonials are needed

[David Boas]

Dear Homer Users,
We've been fortunate that NIH funding under a P41 mechanism has 
permitted the development and support of Homer over these past several 
years. This will still continue, but not at sufficient levels to 
accomplish all that we want to accomplish. As such, I am pursuing an NIH 
grant mechanism to specifically support further advancement and support 
of Homer.

In order to get this though, I need testimonials from the community that 
indicate how Homer is impacting or how it will impact your research. It 
would be superb if I could get 100 testimonials. If we get this funding, 
we will be able to extend homer to run processing streams at the session 
and group level, where as now we only do it at the run level. This will 
enable more sophisticated group level analyses to be incorporated into 
Homer. Further, AtlasViewer will be integrated with Homer to permit 
anatomically guided image reconstructions at the subject and group 
levels. This will also put results into a common coordinate system (MNI 
and freesurfer) to permit comparisons of results across studies and 
research groups. Finally, this will permit us to spend more time running 
training sessions and preparing documentation.

It would be very much appreciated by me if you could send me an email at 
dboas at nmr.mgh.harvard.edu stating the following:

Name:
Position:
Email:
Department:
Institution:
Funding (not needed, but mention relevant NIH grant number if you have 
it, or any other funding mechanism):
A few sentences of how Homer is or will impact your research and why 
that is important to your field of study.

Thank you so much for the support.

David
