*BIC Lecture Series: Fall 2010 Program*

The BIC Lecture
Series<http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Seminars/BICLectureSeries>is a
series of informal lectures on brain imaging that is presented at the
McConnell
Brain Imaging Centre <http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Main/HomePage> (BIC) of
the Montreal Neurological Institute <http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/> (MNI) by
experts in the field; these lectures are open to all.

As you can see below, the Fall 2010 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 (fMRI), diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic
resonance spectroscopy (MRS), as well as how these are used to study the
brain and its functions.

Please join us for our fifth lecture of the season, which will be held on
Monday, November the 1st, at 1:00 pm in the de Grandpré Communications
Centre <http://neuromedia.mcgill.ca/mnibooking/facdirections/dgccdir.htm> of
the MNI (3801 University Street, Montreal, QC, H3A 2B4).

This lecture will be given by Dr. Pedro
Rosa-Neto<http://www.douglasresearch.qc.ca/researcher/pedro-rosa-neto>,
who will be presenting an introduction to positron emission tomography.



We hope to see there!
Zografos Caramanos, Petra Schweinhardt, Amir Shmuel, Sridar Narayanan, and
Jennifer Chew (Organizers)
