This post summarizes workshop of cortical depth resolved (cdr) fMRI, aka layer-fMRI Oct 10th-11th 2023. Official website is: https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/2023-minnesota-workshop/training/depth-resolved-layer-fmri. The slides, the data and the analysis skripts can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10004904.
The goal of this hands-on workshop was to:
- Talk about the stuff that is not in the paper!
- Show you the “ugly” parts of layer fMRI
- Provide enough knowledge to allow analyzing layer data from beginning to end
- Highlight the cool features of some of the most commonly used software
Best misheard sentence: “With Layer-fMRI, we have access to the cortical circus” (referring to circuit).
New established word inventions: “These data have been NORDICed“
The workshop featured 4 independent pipelines of layer-fMRI analysis:
- Yulia Lazarova: BrainVoyager
- Anna Blazejewska: Freesurfer
- Renzo Huber: LayNii AFNI
- Cheryl Olman: Distrortion correction and registration
The data used here can be found on Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10004904
