functional imaging journal club

 

The functional imaging journal club is a gathering of PhD students, postdoc and staff from imaging groups in Utrecht. Papers and/or book chapters that recently appeared in the funcional imaging (and neurostimulation) literature are discussed by all members. It is organized on wednesdays 13.30h every 2 weeks and takes place in the Aula of the Psychiatry department.

Focus usually is on methods, but general imaging papers are welcomed as well.

The meeting is currently chaired by Dora Hermes and Bas Neggers.
