Brain Connectivity Workshop.
Havana City, Cuba
April 26 - 29, 2004
Introductory Neuroinformatics Course : April 23 - 25
Organized by:
- Pedro A. Valdés-Sosa
- Rolf Kötter
Background:
Following the example of the popular short courses in Computational Neuroscience/Neuroinformatics and Functional Imaging techniques this course provides an introduction to connectivity analyses in the context of functional imaging studies.
Details:
Speakers will explain the conceptual issues and introduce relevant resources and software
packages with practical examples. Participants are encouraged to try them using the computer
infrastructure provided by the University of Computer Sciences. If you want to apply these
techniques to data that you already have please contact the local organizing committee for
details of compatible media.
