DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is an important new research technology that allows inquiry into the brain activities associated with a wide variety of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional processes. Major advances will occur as researchers continue to utilize fMRI to develop multi-level, integrative models of normal functioning and psychopathology. The theoretical and methodological expertise of psychological scientists will be crucial to the pace of progress. Although fMRI offers psychological scientists an exciting new tool to develop models of brain-behavior interactions across diverse substantive areas, opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to use it are limited. To foster development of the use of fMRI technology in psychological research, the Science Directorate at the American Psychological Association (APA) has initiated an Advanced Training Institute in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (ATI-fMRI). The Institute, to be conducted on-site at a major imaging center, will provide an introduction to fMRI at a sufficiently advanced level to enable researchers at different academic levels and with different research interests to incorporate it into their research programs. The curriculum will provide basic knowledge of the physics, biology, and mechanics underlying the imaging process, of special research design and data analysis considerations, and of practical issues related to incorporating imaging into a research program.

描述（由申请人提供）：功能性磁共振成像 功能磁共振成像（fMRI）是一种重要的新研究技术，可以探究 大脑活动与各种行为，认知， 情感过程随着研究人员继续努力， 利用功能磁共振成像来开发多层次的，正常功能的综合模型 和精神病理学的理论和方法专长， 心理科学家将对进步的步伐至关重要。虽然fMRI 为心理科学家提供了一个令人兴奋的新工具， 跨不同实质性领域的脑行为交互， 获得使用它所需的知识和技能是有限的。促进 在心理学研究中使用功能磁共振成像技术的发展， 美国心理学协会（阿帕）的科学理事会 成立了一个功能性磁共振高级培训学院 成像（ATI-fMRI）。该研究所，将在一个主要的成像现场进行 中心，将提供一个足够先进的水平介绍功能磁共振成像 使不同学术水平和不同研究领域的研究人员 将其纳入其研究计划。课程将 提供基本的物理学，生物学和力学知识， 成像过程，特殊的研究设计和数据分析考虑， 以及将成像技术纳入研究的实际问题 程序.
