"Why & How" Lecture Series
Lectures are held every one to two weeks on Thursday at 5 PM, 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).
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: Valeria Barletta (VBARLETTA@mgh.harvard.edu), Avery Berman (AJBERMAN@mgh.harvard.edu), Aina Frau-Pascual (AFRAUPASCUAL@mgh.harvard.edu), Mainak Jas (MJAS@mgh.harvard.edu)
Mailing List: https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/whynhow
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: Shahin Nasr, Isik Karahanoglu, Clarissa Zimmerman Cooley, Jason Stockmann, Laura Lewis, Hamdi Eryilmaz, Anna Rieckmann, and Khaldoun Makhoul.
