<h2>AFNI/fMRI Short Course</h2>
[[Beauchamp:TeachingOld|Archive of Previous Teaching Page]]
Dr. Bob Cox, the Director of the Scientific and Statistical Computing Core at the National Institute of Mental Health Intramural Research Program will be visiting Houston on October 4-8, 2010. Together with his staff, Dr. Cox will teach a 5-day course on fMRI data analysis with the AFNI software package.
Here is a tentative schedule for the course.


==Learning more about Neuroimaging==
To learn more about neuroimaging, consider the two course sequence taught by David Ress and Michael Beauchamp at Baylor College of Medicine.
===Fundamentals of Human Neuroimaging===
The first course in the sequence, taught in the Fall (Terms 1 and 2) is directed by David Ress. It is primarily a lecture course survey of neuroimaging methods and results. In 2016, the course was offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:45 am to noon from August 23 to December 13. The course schedule may change in the future, please contact Dr. Ress for schedule information. This course is listed as a BCM course (GS-NE-400) and is cross-listed at Rice as NEUR 430.
Goals and learning objectives:
#Develop familiarity with basic neuroanatomy and electrophysiology.
#Understand the physical basis of magnetic resonance imaging of tissue structure, including the nuclear magnetic resonance, contrast mechanisms, image acquisition, signal processing, and scanner hardware.
#Understand the physiology of neurovascular coupling, and explore its effects on both optical signals and MRI.
#Understand basic concepts, hardware, and analysis of positron emission tomography.
#Become familiar with neuroscience imaging experiment design, analysis, and results, particularly as they are applied human vision science.
Neuroscience elective. 3 Credits for 2 terms (Terms 1 and 2). T/Th. Prerequisites: Introductory Calculus and Physics at the freshman level.
Course director: David Ress, Ph.D.

The second course in the sequence, taught in the Spring, is directed by Michael Beauchamp, course director. The course is listed as BCM GS-NE-472 (350-472) and is cross-listed as Rice Psychology 585. This is a limited enrollment course focussed on practical MRI techniques. Students will collect and analyze MRI data. The course is designed for graduate students, fellows, and others actively collecting MRI data for a research project. The course is typically taught on Wednesdays from 9am to 11:30am. This is a 2 credit course with Pass/Fail grading. The prerequisite is completion of the first course in the sequence, GS-NE-400 (above) and permission of instructor. The course is taught in Term 4. In 2016, the dates for this term are March 14 - May 13, 2016 (last class day May 6).

The main graduate course offered by Dr. Beauchamp is titled "Introduction to fMRI".
This course is intended for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty who are interested in using fMRI for their research. A small number of undergraduates may also enroll in the course solely at the discretion of the instructor. Only undergraduates who are currently working in a laboratory that uses functional MRI study will be considered. The course is primarily offered through the University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. The course is also cross-listed at Rice University in the Psychology and Bioengineering departments and in the Baylor College of Medicine Graduate School of Biological Sciences. If you are a student at UT, Rice or Baylor contact your registrar for enrollment information. If you are not a student at UT, Rice or Baylor, please visit this web page for information about enrolling in the course:
http://registrar.uth.tmc.edu/Registration/ConcurEnrollment.html


A second course offered by Dr. Beauchamp is titled "Advanced Seminars in Neuroimaging". This is an advanced course for students who have already taken Introduction to fMRI.
 
====Course Details====
Students will need to take an MRI safety course offered by CAMRI.
