Subject: BIC Lecture Series: Fall-2009 Program (Sep-21 at 1pm, Introduction to Functional Brain Imaging, Dr. Alain Dagher)


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), and transmagnetic stimulation (TMS), as well as how these are used to study the brain and its functions.

Please join us for our first lecture of the season, which will be held on Monday, September the 21st, 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. Alain Dagher (http://noodles.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/PeopleFaculty/DagherAlain), who will be presenting an introduction to functional brain imaging.

For more details on the BIC Lectures, as well as links to the presentations as they are made available by the speakers, please visit http://noodles.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Seminars/BICLectureSeries.
