Multimodal Neuroimaging Training Program
When:
Monday, June 14, 2010
- Friday, July 23, 2010
Where: Pittsburgh, PA

The 2010 Multimodal Neuroimaging Training Program coordinated by the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, with funding from NIH, will be hosting our annual 6-week summer workshop, which will provide training in multiple imaging modalities, including structural MRI, functional MRI, PET, MEG/EEG, and optical imaging. Our approach will be to focus training scientists who have experience in one imaging modality, and would like to integrate multiple imaging modalities in order to address neuroscience questions. This program is designed for advanced scientists (senior graduate students, medical students, post-doctoral fellows, and independent researchers) who are already engaged in neuroimaging work and are familiar with brain structure and function. Furthermore, candidates must have knowledge of brain structure and function and have previous experience with at lease one imaging modality. By taking participants that have a background in one modality, we can cross-train in another modality. Participants will learn the principles of multiple imaging modalities, and receive hands-on experience on how to acquire, process, and interpret imaging data. The summer workshop will consist of basic lectures, hands-on laboratory work, a multimodal neuroimaging symposium focusing on "visual processing", and completion of projects, emphasizing the methodologies of multiple imaging modalities. Participants in this workshop will receive a subsistence allowance of $2,500 (based upon eligibility) to cover meals and other education-related expenses and be provided with housing. Participants will also receive partial funds to help defray travel cost and other related expenses. The application deadline is January 31, 2010. Please note that funding is limited to 12 participants.
