Since this website is supposed to be about sound as well as science, I’m excited to announce that most of the slides and podcasts for the Neuroimaging Training Program Summer Course at UCLA are up on the web!  Enjoy the sound and slides of experts from around the world as they discuss methods relevant to neuroimaging research.

The itunes link is here.  Note, slides and podcasts from last year’s course are available at the iTunes link as well.
