Neuroimaging Bootcamp
The 2022 INC Summer Neuroimaging Bootcamp was an intensive introduction to the breadth of neuroimaging for scientific research. The bootcamp was intended for undergraduate and graduate students, research staff, researchers and faculty members who could benefit from an introduction to neuroimaging concepts, theories, methods, and applications. The bootcamp format offers a condensed format to introduce attendees to neuroimaging basics in a short period of time.
Explore free online access to a five-day series of lectures on neuroimaging for scientific research! Listen and learn from any time, in any place, about the basics of neuroimaging.
1. Develop an understanding of neuroimaging data from a data science perspective
2. Gain a basic understanding of how MRI signals are generated
