The talks and tutorials should familiarize you with !FreeSurfer's volume and surface processing streams. The tutorials also describe some of !FreeSurfer's tools for registering volumetric datasets, performing group analysis on morphology data, and integrating multi-modal output with !FreeSurfer (overlaying color-coded parametric maps onto the cortical surface and visualizing plotted results). ##After completing the tutorials, you should be able to: ## * perform surface reconstructions; ## * fix errors encountered during the volume or surface processing; ## * overlay functional data onto surfaces; ## * perform group analysis of structural (e.g. thickness) and functional data. Note: During the tutorial sessions, you will be shown a variety of commands. Only those that appear in a box should be copy-and-pasted into the terminal. They will look like this: {{{ command arg1 arg2 }}} '''''Tip for Mac users''''': The tutorials often refer to keyboard shortcuts (such as Alt+v) which do not work on a Mac. For a list of equivalent keyboard commands on a Mac, please refer to MacCommands. ##||'''Online Question Forum''' ||'''Videos of Lectures''' ||'''Course Evaluation''' || ##||Throughout the course, you may post questions [[http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/fsurfer/questions.cgi|here]] (anonymously or not). || You can find videos of the lectures [[http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCruQerP8aa-gYttXkAcyveA|here]].|| The course evaluation will be posted here on the last day of the course. || ||'''Online Question Forum''' ||'''Videos of Lectures''' || ||Throughout the course, you may post questions [[http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/fsurfer/questions.cgi|here]] (anonymously or not). ||You can find videos of the lectures [[http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCruQerP8aa-gYttXkAcyveA|here]]. || ##Please fill out our course evaluation [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFJTVm1JOEVXVXZCV25kX0kyMXVkdkE6MA|here]].
