The combination of ultra-high field (7 Tesla and above) imaging with increasingly sophisticated data analysis tools has led to a surge of research using functional MRI acquisitions to examine the behavior of individual cortical layers of the brain. This course will focus on teaching the acquisition and analysis tools needed to contribute to this research.
Content: four days of hands-on training on laminar fMRI
day 1: introduction to laminar fMRI & basic data acquisition
day 2: data preprocessing and analysis
day 3: interpretation and modeling
day 4: advanced applications and future directions
