Two Week Multi-Modal Short Course at Martinos, May 16-27, 2011
Multi-Modal Brain Imaging and Functional Analysis (course code: 2011May16)
Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging
Massachusetts General Hospital
Applications are open
for the 5th Multi-Modal Short Course (MMSC) being held at the Athinoula A.
Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, in Charlestown, Massachusetts, May
16-27, 2011. The application process is competitive; all applications are due
by the end of February 28, 2011. Admission Decisions will be announced by March
15, 2011.
The goal of this ambitious workshop is to demonstrate the
ways in which a large variety of techniques are being applied to questions in
human brain function. Participants will receive exposure to MRI, FMRI, DTI,
DSI, MRS, PET, EEG, MEG, NIRS, DOT, TMS, and a variety of molecular and
computational approaches to studying human brain function in vivo. There will
also be some discussion of more invasive techniques such as implanted
electrodes and direct cortical stimulation---tools that are used before and
during surgery. To bring this heterogeneous collection of technologies
together, a number of unifying themes (in both the lectures and the
classroom/laboratory activities) will be used. Unifying themes will include
mode of activation (blood-based, electrical, trauma/clinical), physiological
underpinnings (from basic biophysics of the effects to molecular and energetic
considerations), psychological (using all modalities on the same questions),
and others. Activities will include design of a variety of experiments,
exposure to a variety of software tools, tours and demonstrations of the
techniques in action, and selected keynote lectures to exemplify particular
experimental domains in which many of these techniques have been brought to
bear on a specific problem.

fMRI Visiting Fellowship Programs: October, 2011
Functional MRI
Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging
Massachusetts General Hospital
The 5-day Visiting
Fellowship Program in Functional MRI has been held more than 50 times since its
inception in October of 1994. It is a world-renown introduction to the basics
of Functional MRI, presented in an intense workshop that emphasizes
experimental design in the context of a thorough grounding in image
acquisition, task design, data analysis and a collection of "cautionary
tales" to give the participant a good feel for the pitfalls of fMRI-based
research, as well as its power. It is held at the home of the first human
functional MRI experiments: The Athinoula A. Martinos Center For Biomedical
Imaging of the Massachusetts General Hospital, near Boston, Massachusetts.
The purpose of the workshop is to provide a serious
introduction to this field. It is primarily intended for people new to the
field, and for those who have had some experience but seek a more thorough and
principled introduction.
CURRICULUM
Students will receive a firm grounding in the fundamentals
of fMRI. This will include the basic physics of MR imaging, the biology and
biophysics of the hemodynamic responses to neural activity, the principles of
fMRI data analysis (including bot exploratory and statistical analyses),
stimulus presentation and response recording in the context of high magnetic
fields and electromagnetic pulses, and the design of perceptual and cognitive
experiments.
A special emphasis of the course will be the design,
implementation, and execution of perceptual and/or cognitive experiments by the
participants. Participants will break into small groups to design their own
fMRI experiments. Barring unforeseen problems, some of these experiments will
be executed, and the resulting data analyzed, on the final day of the course.
The core faculty is drawn from the staff of the Athinoula A.
Martinos Center (of the Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts
Institute of Technology) and affiliated faculty from Harvard University, Boston
University, McLean Hospital and other institutions.
NOTE: While a large fraction of the workshop is spent
addressing the many issues associated with the analysis of fMRI data, this is
NOT a course to teach a specific software package. Other workshops, devoted to
specific packages, are available at Martinos and at other institutions.

Postdoctoral Position
Dr. Mitchell Rosenthal Memorial Fellowship in Traumatic Brain Injury
Postdoctoral Fellowships in Cognitive Neuroscience of Traumatic Brain Injury
Director: Jordan Grafman, PhD
Kessler Foundation
Kessler Foundation is accepting
applications for a two-year fellowship, beginning in August 2011. This
fellowship is designed to provide advanced training in cognitive neuroscience
research that directly benefits persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The focus of translational research in the TBI Research Laboratory is
identifying the forms of knowledge represented in the prefrontal cortex and
related brain structures, and studying functional neuroplasticity during
learning and recovery of function after brain injury. The operating framework
to study these processes and their disorders is based on cognitive science
theory, emphasizing social cognition and executive functions. We combine this
approach with state-of-the-art clinical neuroscience techniques. The goal is to
turn cognitive neuroscience research results into usable assessment and intervention
techniques for patients.
The Laboratory, which studies healthy volunteers and TBI patients, provides
ample opportunity for the development of innovative, focused research and broad
collaborative cognitive neuroscience experience.
This fellowship, which honors Dr. Mitchell Rosenthal, whose accomplishments
significantly advanced the field of TBI rehabilitation, is designed as a two-

Postdoctoral Position
Postdoctor in the new area of Cognitive Hearing Science and Disability Research (CHS)
Linnaeus Centre HEAD (LCH, www.headcentre.se)
Department of Behavioral Sciences and Learning
Linköping University, Sweden
Cognitive Hearing Science is a new,
interdisciplinary field that focuses on how hearing-impaired and deaf people
deploy cognitive resources to communicate in realistic, everyday situations. We
will chart and model the dynamic interplay in the nervous system between human
cognition and auditory signal processing, both aided and unaided. The proposed
research will investigate how the brain constructs meaning from degraded and
distorted input signals, and how brain plasticity varies in relation to the
developmental trajectories of cognition and language across the lifespan. The
communicative consequences of available sensory modality (visual, auditory and
audiovisual) and preferred language modality (sign and speech) are studied at neural,
cognitive and social levels of analysis to ensure robust modelling of necessary
and sufficient stages of processing and adequacy of levels of description. The
malleability of the sensory-cognitive interface is addressed in targeted
intervention studies.
We welcome applications to one or more positions in the following specific
areas (institutional affiliation within parenthesis). If you apply for more
than one position - please rank them.
1. Modelling the auditory signal-cognition interface (100%, IBL)
2. Deaf literacy and intervention (100%, IBL)
3. Cognitive neuroscience of hearing and deafness (100%, IBL)
Starting date
