The INC Summer Neuroimaging Bootcamp is an intensive introduction to the breadth of neuroimaging for scientific research. The bootcamp is intended for undergraduate and graduate students, research staff, researchers and faculty members who can 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. 

1. Develop an understanding of neuroimaging data from a data science perspective 

2. Gain a basic understanding of how MRI signals are generated 

3. Understand how different types of MR images are acquired and what information they provide 

4. Understand the techniques used in cleaning and preparing neuroimages to extract high quality biologically meaningful information from MR images 

5. Gain an appreciation of the complexity and pitfalls of neuroimaging 

6. Introduction to modeling neuroimaging data, including statistical issues that arise and options for efficacious analyses and communication of neuroimaging results 

Given the bootcamp format and the target, introductory audience for this course, we highly recommend that all lectures are attended. Picking and choosing topics within a daily session can be disruptive to the other attendees. Importantly, topics are integrated such that knowledge gained in earlier sessions is recalled and depended on by subsequent sessions. Skipping certain sub-topics may hinder learning objectives in later topics, and in the bootcamp format repetition to facilitate individual attendees is not possible.
