Hi Jessica and Kirstin,

I am not sure who advertises seminar these days around the department and across the INP community. Could you please help me to spread the word?

Thank you,
Helen.

[cid:image002.jpg at 01D98FE1.76FD8500]       A practical introduction into Dynamic Causal Modeling
Dr. Peter Zeidman, Ph.D., Chair of the Methods Group at the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging at University College of London. He is a developer of SPM<https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/>, the open source software package for analyzing neuroimaging data. He focuses on Bayesian analysis methods, including Dynamic Causal Modeling (DCM) - a technology which lets people investigate dynamic properties of brain circuitry.

All of our cognitive functions depend on regions of the brain interacting with one another – their “effective connectivity”. Neurological and psychiatric disorders can be understood in terms of disruption to this effective connectivity. This 3-part series focusses on how to characterize people’s neuronal responses and effective connectivity using fMRI, and how to test for changes in these measures due to a diagnosis, a treatment, or behavioural / clinical measures.

June 1, 12 -1pm Kangjoo Lee, PhD, Yale psychiatry, join via this link<https://yale.zoom.us/j/95817363733>
In the first session, we will give an overview of functional localization – identifying where in the brain neural activity occurs. We will focus on the General Linear Model (GLM), in conjunction with a simple auditory task fMRI experiment.

June 8, 12 -1pm Peter Zeidman, PhD, University College of London, join via this link<https://yale.zoom.us/j/95614688286>
In the second session, we will introduce dynamic causal modelling (DCM), a framework for inferring the dynamic interactions among brain regions.

June 15, 12 -1pm Peter Zeidman, PhD, University College of London
The third session will be a practical workshop, where we will illustrate applying the GLM and DCM to investigate individual differences in effective connectivity. All analyses will be illustrated using the open source Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) software package (https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/software/download/), which is a toolbox for MATLAB. Nevertheless, many of the principles we will cover are common across analysis packages.

Note:

·                     Participation in the third session is by invitations only (contact helen.pushkarskaya at yale.edu<mailto:helen.pushkarskaya at yale.edu>).

·                     Recordings will be posted online at https://medicine.yale.edu/psychiatry/education/map/ .

·                     All tutorial participants will offer additional follow up practical tutorials during the following weeks. Please sign up for these tutorials or invite instructors to your research group  here<https://yalesurvey.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eXsZBtWDfIKIyPA>.
