The abstract deadline for the fMRI Experience VIII conference has been extended until April the 7th.

The meeting is shaping up to be an exciting one. To complement the main program we have arranged two special BIG DISCUSSIONS:
1) A big discussion with the difficult topic “Has fMRI told us anything new about the mind (so far)?”. Auni Puce (West Virginia University) will be directing proceedings. A representative from each team will give a short presentation after which there will be discussion between the teams.

On the “Yes!” team are
- Prof Richard Clarke (Flinders University),
- Prof David Crewther (Brain Sciences Institute, Swinburne University) and
- Prof David Copolov (Mental Health Research Institute, Australia).
On the “No!” team are
- Prof Max Coltheart (Macquarie University) and
- Dr David Donaldson (University of Stirling, Scotland).

2) The second big discussion is a presentation of three major brain imaging software packages. Speakers will present the main features of each package as well as an analysis of the openly available FIAC data (http://www.madic.org/index.php).
- FSL: Dr Mark Jenkinson (FMRIB, Oxford University).
- SPM: Dr Michael Breakspear (University of Sydney).
- Brain Voyager: Prof David Crewther (Brain Sciences Insitute, Swinburne University).


The fMRI Experience offers students, early career researchers and the more experienced an opportunity to interact and learn from prominent national and international professionals in the field of fMRI.

The four-day program will cover:
- The basis of fMRI.
- Experimental design and analysis.
- Applications in cognitive neuroscience and psychiatry.
- Multi-modal imaging and alternatives to fMRI.

Confirmed keynotye speakers: Peter Bandettini (USA), Mick Brammer (UK), David Donaldson (UK), John Foxe (USA), Aina Puce (USA) & Mark Jenkinson (UK).

All this and more, at the Eighth fMRI Experience Conference, now with new and improved abstract deadline.
