Application deadline : September 15, 2010.
Activities ;
The workshop will be held for two weeks from 29 Nov -10 Dec. 2010. The various components of the workshop will include :
Lectures
Lab practicals and training session

(2) Lab Practicals: Lab practicals/lab sessions will be designed to provide hands-on instruction in selected state-of-the-art techniques and will include structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and electroencephalography (EEG).
(3) Interactive Session: Problem Solving/Tutorial Paper reading and discussion groups: During Interactive sessions the students will have intensive discussion with the faculty and tutors on the techniques being taught, and this will impart an opportunity to the students to hone their practice on the imaging techniques and. twill allow students to focus more deeply on topics of special interest and help them understand the basic perspective as well as state-of-the-art procedures.
(4) Social Activities: The workshop will be designed to facilitate informal interactions between participants (students, visiting faculty and resident faculty). Daily breakfast, lunch and morning/afternoon coffee breaks will provide for interactions between visiting faculty, resident faculty, and students with opportunities for discussions of science, as well as eastern vs. western views on life, culture, art and politics.In addition, the workshop will open with a reception, and conclude with a validectory session for all workshop participants. A tour of Delhi and nearby areas will be arranged over the weekend for the students.
