== '''"Why & How" Seminar Series''' ==
== '''"Why & How" Lecture Series''' ==


Lectures are held on the first and third Thursdays of the month at 6PM, in the 2204 conference room of Building 149. Snacks are served 20 minutes prior to the talk (no food is allowed inside the conference room).
Lectures are held approximately every two weeks on Thursdays at 4 PM over Zoom (see weekly email for Zoom webinar link). Join the mailing list at https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/whynhow.
 
The Why-N-How lecture series consists of presentations by MGH Martinos Center experts on a wide range of topics relevant to biomedical imaging.  The talks are particularly geared toward research assistants, grad students, post-docs, and clinical fellows, but they are open to everyone.  We will have talks overviewing most of the major imaging modalities used at the center (MRI, PET, EEG, MEG, optical, TMS, and others), the applications of these modalities, and the software tools used for (neuro)imaging analysis.  We have some outstanding speakers lined up, so stay tuned as our schedule takes shape!  You will find the schedule below as well as slides and recordings from past talks.
 
<br>
Organizers: Parker Kotlarz (PKOTLARZ@mgh.harvard.edu), Bryan Kennedy (BKENNEDY7@mgh.harvard.edu), Nikita Malladi (SMALLADI@mgh.harvard.edu)
 
 
'''In order to better respond to your interests, let us know what you would like to learn more about! Below are the schedules from past years, which will serve as the basis for this year's talks. If you'd like us to add a topic, send us an email at one of the addresses above and we'll try to make it happen.'''
 
 
In 2016, we started recording Why-N-How talks.  Look for them to appear on the [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCCZahcOPA9xrxMgMzLEyTA Martinos Center YouTube channel].
 
 
Past organizers include Allen Alfadhel, Mainak Jas, Bin Deng, Valeria Barletta, Avery Berman, Aina Frau Pascual, Shahin Nasr, Isik Karahanoglu, Clarissa Zimmerman Cooley, Jason Stockmann, Laura Lewis, Hamdi Eryilmaz, Anna Rieckmann, and Khaldoun Makhoul.

"Why & How" Lecture Series

Lectures are held approximately every two weeks on Thursdays at 4 PM over Zoom (see weekly email for Zoom webinar link). Join the mailing list at https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/whynhow.

The Why-N-How lecture series consists of presentations by MGH Martinos Center experts on a wide range of topics relevant to biomedical imaging. The talks are particularly geared toward research assistants, grad students, post-docs, and clinical fellows, but they are open to everyone. We will have talks overviewing most of the major imaging modalities used at the center (MRI, PET, EEG, MEG, optical, TMS, and others), the applications of these modalities, and the software tools used for (neuro)imaging analysis. We have some outstanding speakers lined up, so stay tuned as our schedule takes shape! You will find the schedule below as well as slides and recordings from past talks.


Organizers: Parker Kotlarz (PKOTLARZ@mgh.harvard.edu), Bryan Kennedy (BKENNEDY7@mgh.harvard.edu), Nikita Malladi (SMALLADI@mgh.harvard.edu)


In order to better respond to your interests, let us know what you would like to learn more about! Below are the schedules from past years, which will serve as the basis for this year's talks. If you'd like us to add a topic, send us an email at one of the addresses above and we'll try to make it happen.


In 2016, we started recording Why-N-How talks. Look for them to appear on the Martinos Center YouTube channel.


Past organizers include Allen Alfadhel, Mainak Jas, Bin Deng, Valeria Barletta, Avery Berman, Aina Frau Pascual, Shahin Nasr, Isik Karahanoglu, Clarissa Zimmerman Cooley, Jason Stockmann, Laura Lewis, Hamdi Eryilmaz, Anna Rieckmann, and Khaldoun Makhoul.
