fMRI brown bags

The DBIC hosts a monthly brown bag series. Topics will vary, but we aim to provide a forum in which users can learn about new neuroimaging methods, or solicit feedback on new or ongoing neuroimaging projects. While our speaker lineup will generally be from the DBIC user community, we will occasionally host an external speaker from the broader neuroscience community.

If you'd be interested in giving a talk at an fMRI brown bag, please contact Courtney Rogers
