Turku PET Centre neuroscientists and Human Emotion Systems Laboratory will organize a hybrid, free of charge PET-MRI neuroimaging course in September 19th -21st 2022. This course will give a hands-on overview on the basic brain imaging analysis techniques applicable to PET as well as structural and functional MRI data. After the course, the participants should be able to independently process and analyse the data that has been retrieved from PET camera / MRI scanner.
All lectures will be held on site in University of Turku lecture hall PUB2 (Publicum building). Lectures will also be streamed live using Echo360 platform. Lectures will be stored permanently and they can also be viewed afterwards.
