FAQ

1. How many individuals are accepted into the Barcelona course?

   • 60 people

2. Do postdocs qualify for the student rate?

   • No, sorry.

3. The course is full. Can you register me for the next one?

   • You can sign up for our course mailing list and you will be notified when registration for the next course opens (that list is here). You can also register for the currently full course to be put on the waiting list for it. This does not however automatically get you a spot in the next course.

4. Can I get a receipt for the course?

   • Sure! Paper receipts will be available on the first day of the course. If you need a receipt or invoice before then to get a check issued or reimbursed, please use the confirmation email you received when you registered for the course.

5. How do I know if my payment went through?

   • Julieta will contact you when payment is received.

6. Do I get any credits for taking this course?

   • No, but we will give you a certificate to prove you took it.

7. Can I bring my own laptop to work on instead of sharing with someone else?

   • If any issues arise during the tutorial sessions which are unique to your laptop, we will not be able to troubleshoot those issues for you (it takes staff away from answering general tutorial questions). We strongly discourage using your own laptop instead of the ones we provide. If you insist on working on your laptop, please thoroughly test your installation ahead of time - guidelines for this can be found on the TestingFreeSurfer wiki. It might also be a good idea to try to run all the commands in the tutorials (here).
