The following are classes and training offered by the staff of CFMI. This page includes class requirements, schedules, materials, and synopses.| MRI Safety Training | Next Offered Oct 2011 | ||||
| Description: Completion of the CFMI MRI Safety Training Course is required for all investigators working in the facility. The program will include a 1-hr MRI safety lecture, viewing of an MRI safety video, tour of the magnet room, practice in subject screening and a brief exam. Course materials are available in the downloads section and should be read prior to the lecture. In addition, the following on MRI hardware and safety should be read ahead of time. Please contact us if you are interested in enrolling in this course. |

| Elements of Imaging | Fall 2011 |
| Description: Functional brain imaging techniques are important tools for both neuroscientists and clinicians. In this course we will focus on functional MRI with an emphasis on understanding the relationship between the underlying neuronal changes and the signal changes measured using fMRI. Other topics will include experimental design, fMRI data analysis, and interpretation of results. We will also discuss the application of this technique to clinical and neuroscience research. The course will include both lectures and hands-on labs. Students will conduct and participate in an fMRI experiment that will include design, implementation, data acquisition and data analysis. A project report will be required and include review of pertinent neuroscience literature, discussion of the methodological issues covered during the lectures and presentation and analysis of the experimental findings. There will be mid-term and final examinations to assess the students' general understanding of the material covered in these lectures. The mid-term exam will compose 30% of the final grade, the final exam 30%, and the project report 40%. The course is open to both graduate and undergraduate students.

| CFMI Discussion | Not Currently Offered |
| Description: The plan is to meet on the second and last Friday afternoons 12 to 2pm of each month to discuss topics of interest. This can range from a current project in the lab to a paper of interest for novelty and rigor. These meetings are to be a critical discussion of topics, rather than presentations. It should be emphasized that the success of such meetings rests upon full participation the will to prepare for topics of discussion and learn as much as possible from them. It is desirable that the presenters send a list of suggested reading materials and questions of interest in advance. |
