[Jennifer Chew, Ms.]

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 first lecture of the season, which will be held on Monday, September the 27th, 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. Alain Dagher<http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/neuro_team/mbic/alain_dagher/>, who will be presenting a general introduction to functional brain imaging.


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