Students will select a disorder of interest and learn how neuroimaging could be used for diagnosis or treatment. For instance, obesity (Internal Medicine); dementia (Geriatrics); tumor (Neurosurgery); cerebral infarcts (Radiology); epilepsy (Neurology); dyslexia (Pediatrics); bipolar disorder (Psychiatry). No technical background or experience with neuroimaging is required. http://med.uth.tmc.edu/administration/student/catalog/10/BasicScience/BSCI4008.pdf misc teaching notes: Beauchamp:ElectiveNotes AFNI/fMRI Short Course Dr. Bob Cox, the Director of the Scientific and Statistical Computing Core at the National Institute of Mental Health Intramural Research Program will be visiting Houston on October 4-8, 2010. Together with his staff, Dr. Cox will teach a 5-day course on fMRI data analysis with the AFNI software package. Click for more information on the short course Introduction to fMRI The main graduate course offered by Dr. Beauchamp is titled "Introduction to fMRI". This course is intended for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty who are interested in using fMRI for their research. A small number of undergraduates may also enroll in the course solely at the discretion of the instructor. Only undergraduates who are currently working in a laboratory that uses functional MRI study will be considered. The course is primarily offered through the University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. The course is also cross-listed at Rice University in the Psychology and Bioengineering departments (as Psych 571 and BioE 571) and in the Baylor College of Medicine Graduate School of Biological Sciences (as GS-NE-439). If you are a student at UT, Rice or Baylor contact your registrar for enrollment information. If you are not a student at UT, Rice or Baylor, please visit this web page for information about enrolling in the course: http://registrar.uth.tmc.edu/Registration/ConcurEnrollment.html The textbook for this course is "Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging", 2nd edition, by Huettel, Song and McCarthy. The text may be ordered from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Functional-Magnetic-Resonance-Imaging-Second/dp/0878932860 or it is available at the UT bookstore at a 10% discount. The course is taught in even years only on Tuesdays from 2 pm to 5 pm in UT MSB B.645. In 2010, the first class will be Tuesday Aug 31 and the last class will be Tuesday December 7th. There will be no class on October 5th (AFNI workshop), November 16th (Society for Neuroscience annual meeting) or Tuesday November 23rd (Thanksgiving). Other Courses and Lectures A second course offered by Dr. Beauchamp is titled "Advanced Seminars in Neuroimaging". This is an advanced course for students who have already taken Introduction to fMRI.
