ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE JOURNAL OF COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE

We would like to notify all CNS members who may be considering
submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience that due
to the move of the National FMRI Data Center from Dartmouth to UC Santa
Barbara,  there will be a moratorium on the requirement to submit fMRI
data to Center.

Neuro-Cognitive Rehabilitation Research Network (Conference/Symposium/Event)
Neuro-Cognitive, Research, Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute



The Neuro-Cognitive Rehabilitation Research Network (NCRRN) is a
collaborative effort of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute
(MRRI) and the Center for Functional Neuroimaging (CfN?) at the
University of Pennsylvania. Our grant focuses on cognitive neuroscience,
cognitive recovery, and cognitive rehabilitation, and on the use of
behavioral, imaging, ERP, and TMS methods of investigation. In
particular, we hope bring together basic and applied researchers in the
study of promising interventions for cognitive impairment.

We offer a number of services, including:
·    Scientific review of projects under development
·    Brief preceptorships in Philadelphia
·    Pilot funding
·    Assistance with scientific meetings relevant to our mission (partial
funding, provision of speakers, etc.)
·    Notice of relevant scientific meetings
·    Notice of relevant funding opportunities
·    On-line resources including annotated reading lists, expert
recommendations on methods, research presentations in slide and video
formats, and summaries of research workshop proceedings

If you’re interested in receiving any of these resources, or in
receiving notification of future opportunities or updates, please visit
our website (www.ncrrn.org) or email us at ncrrn@einstein.edu.

This project is part of the NIH-funded program of Medical Rehabilitation
Research Infrastructure grants, intended to provide core research tools
and technical assistance to basic and clinical researchers around the
country interested in addressing rehabilitation research topics.

******************************************************************************************************
The Visiting Fellowship Program in Functional MRI continues to be
offered three times per year in Charlestown (5 minutes from Boston),
Massachusetts.  It is sponsored by the MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A. Martinos
Center for Biomedical Imaging.

   The next program is scheduled for October 2-6, 2006. 

 The October 2-6, 2006 program is a 5-Day intensive workshop.
Participants attend lectures, have ample time for informal discussion
with the lecturers, attend a "demonstration" fMRI experiment, get some
hands-on experience with data analysis, design a group fMRI experiment,
and implement, execute, and analyze the data from that experiment.

   The main focus is on the basics of the physics, experimental design,
and data analysis of fMRI-based experiments.  It serves as a rapid and
thorough introduction to people new to the field, who are considering
active research or are planning and carrying experiments based on fMRI.
 Many laboratories have found this an efficient way to get new people
started (in contrast to having to wait for a full semester's normal
academic program).  Participants with a modest amount of experience in
an fMRI-based laboratory, and who are ready for a more thorough
presentation of the foundations, also report getting a great deal from
the program.

   The emphasis continues to be on theoretical basics, with hands-on
experimental design workshops and detailed discussion of issues
associated with data analysis and data-analysis-software packages.
However, this is not primarily a course designed to teach participants
the details of using any specific package.

For on-line registration and more detailed information regarding
registration, accommodation, etc., consult the web page at:

Williams syndrome), and other conditions such as normal
aging.  In addition to collaborative work within the team,
there is opportunity for outstanding candidates to develop
their own projects within the Unit. Possible areas of
concentration include 1) neurofunctional and neurochemical
substrates of higher cognitive function, particularly as
regards working memory and frontal lobe, 2) neurochemical
and neurophysiological substrates of reward, 3)
neurofunctional bases of neuropsychiatric disorders
(schizophrenia, Williams syndrome), 4) computational
neuroscience (statistical and systems approaches).
Familiarity with computational and statistical methods for
neuroimaging (e.g. Unix, C/C++, MatLab?, SPM, and AFNI)
confers an advantage but is not absolutely required.
