DESCRIPTION (provided by application): The purpose of this application is to request support to create a permanent course to train graduate students, post docs, medical professionals, and basic science faculty on the use of functional MRI for psychological studies of normal and brain-injured individuals. Our aims are these: (a) to train basic researchers on the use of fMRI so that they can conduct imaging studies at their home institutions; (b) to train medical residents in the fields of psychiatry, neurology, radiology, and physical medicine on fMRI so that they can apply the techniques to their own research programs concerning mental health issues; (c) to advertise the course widely to attract a diverse body of participants from throughout the mental health research community in the United States and to support these students financially so that they can attend the course. The proposed course has the following features: A two-week curriculum of lectures and laboratories covering (a) the physics of MRI and fMRI, (b) the types of data acquisition routines available, (c) experimental design for blocked and event-related paradigms, (d) post-processing routines that are used on fMRI data, (e) coverage of parametric and nonparametric techniques for data analysis, (e) interpretation of brain activations, and (f) a hands-on experiment in which students collect and analyze data. In addition, we plan to offer an optional set of two evening sessions the first week of the course that will include instruction on reading structural MRI images to identify normal brain structures and to identify some typical brain abnormalities in injured brains.

描述（由应用程序提供）：本应用程序的目的是请求支持创建一门永久性课程，以培训研究生、博士后、医学专业人员和基础科学教师如何使用功能 MRI 对正常人和脑损伤个体进行心理研究。我们的目标是： (a) 培训基础研究人员使用功能磁共振成像，以便他们能够在自己的机构中进行成像研究； (b) 对精神病学、神经病学、放射学和物理医学领域的住院医生进行功能磁共振成像培训，以便他们能够将这些技术应用到自己有关心理健康问题的研究项目中； (c) 广泛宣传该课程，以吸引来自美国整个心理健康研究界的不同参与者，并在经济上支持这些学生，以便他们能够参加该课程。 拟议的课程具有以下特点：为期两周的讲座和实验室课程，涵盖（a）MRI和fMRI的物理学，（b）可用的数据采集例程的类型，（c）块和事件相关范例的实验设计，（d）用于fMRI数据的后处理例程，（e）用于数据分析的参数和非参数技术的覆盖范围， （e）大脑激活的解释，以及（f）学生收集和分析数据的动手实验。此外，我们计划在课程第一周提供一组可选的两次晚间课程，其中包括阅读结构 MRI 图像的指导，以识别正常的大脑结构并识别受伤大脑中的一些典型的大脑异常。
