Learn different modeling strategies
Meet researchers from a variety of backgrounds
Longitudinal MRI datasets require special consideration for processing and analysis, yet the field as a whole has not standardized best practices for these datasets, which could be one reason why it is difficult to replicate results across laboratories and research studies. This two-day workshop will teach best practices for processing, analyzing, modeling, and interpreting longitudinal neuroimaging data. This will help researchers conduct robust and reproducible research on how the brain and cognition change across development.
Participants are strongly encouraged to download and install R and R Studio on their computers before the workshop. Although not required, it might benefit attendees to download and install the following software on their computers:
FreeSurfer
XQuartz
AFNI
If you have installation questions, please feel free to ask @katemills about it on our slack channel and she'll help you troubleshoot problems.
