It is with great pleasure that we would like to announce the second
call for abstracts and registration for the

The 'fMRI Experience VI' Conference

To be held

6th-9th May 2004

Hotel Casa Grande,
Guaruja Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Confirmed speakers so far include:

Professor Jim Haxby,
Professor Nikos Logothetis,
Dr Peter Bandettini,
Dr Elliot Stein,
Professor Mary Phillips,
Dr Jorge Moll,
Professor Mick Brammer,
Professor Steven Williams,
Dr Vincent Giampietro,
Professor Rainer Goebel,
Professor Miguel Nicolelis,
Professor Philip McGuire,
Dr Derek Jones,
Professor Randy McIntosh,
Professor Ricardo Gattass,

The four days will consist of teaching sessions led by world-renowned
experts in the field on basic principles and advanced topics in fMRI,
in combination with student presentations. Students will have the
opportunity to present their new research, both in-progress and
recently completed projects. As students contribute greatly to
research projects and yet rarely have the opportunity to make oral
presentations at international meetings, we have aimed to provide
them with this opportunity, although there will also be poster
presentations scheduled. This year the organizing committee is
pleased to offer a number of formal workshops, including a course on
the Brain Voyager software (led by Professor Goebel) which will be
held on the last day of the meeting.

There is no charge for registered delegates to attend these courses
however, due to space constraints, delegates will have to register to
attend a particular course via the conference WWW site. Please note that
there are limited spaces left on these courses.

Further details about the 'fMRI Experience' conference series,
including this years registration and abstract submission information
(deadline : 1st Feb 2004) can be found on the conference WWW site
(www.fmriexp.com). Funding information can also be found on this site.
