Brain Imaging for Fun and Profit

Daniel Marcus (Washington University School of Medicine)
General
Location: Marina Ballroom E

Brain imaging is a powerful tool for understanding the brain and is now entering diverse markets including economics, politics, and law.

In this session we’ll consider temporal and spatial scale, structure and function, key concepts, tools of the trade, and everything else you need to get started as a brain imager. Except a brain scanner. Those are a bit harder to come by, but we’ll talk about a number of places to get existing brain imaging data that’s ripe for mining and discovery.
