[BIC-announce] BIC Lecture Series: Fall 2009 Program (Nov-30 at 1pm, de Grandpré Communications Centre, Introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging, Dr. Luis Concha)

[Zografos 'Aki' Caramanos]

The "BIC Lecture Series" is a series of informal lectures on brain imaging
that is presented at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC) of the
Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) by experts in the field; these
lectures are open to all.

As you can see below, the Fall 2009 Program of the BIC Lecture Series will
feature a number of introductory presentations to get you up to speed on the
basics of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI, diffusion tensor
imaging (DTI), positron emission tomography (PET) and transmagnetic
stimulation (TMS), as well as how these are used to study the brain and its
functions.

Please join us for our eighth lecture of the season, which will be held on
Monday, November the 30th, at 1:00 pm in the de Grandpré Communications
Centre of the MNI (3801 University Street, Montreal, QC, H3A 2B4).  This
lecture will be given by Dr. Luis Concha (
http://lconcha.googlepages.com/home), who will be giving an introduction to
DTI.
