[CBIAnnounce] TALK: Jonathan Winawer, Friday Nov. 1

[Ed Vessel]

*NYU Center for Brain Imaging*
*Fall 2013 Seminar Series*


Friday, November 1
3:30 - 4:30pm
Meyer 815

*Jonathan Winawer *(Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neural Science)
"GLMdenoise: A fast, Automated Technique for Denoising Task-Based fMRI Data"

   Jonathan Winawer will present an algorithm, called GLMdenoise, for
effectively reducing global noise sources in fMRI data. He will explain the
logic of the algorithm and show how it performs on several data sets, and
will compare its performance to other denoising methods, including methods
based on ICA, motion regressors, and physiological measures obtained during
scanning (RETROICOR/RVHRCOR).
   The code was developed with colleagues at Stanford, led by Kendrick Kay,
and is freely available online (http://kendrickkay.net/GLMdenoise/). A
paper based on the method is currently under review for publication:

Kay KN, Rokem A, Winawer J, Dougherty RF, Wandell BA. GLMdenoise: A fast,
automated technique for denoising task-based fMRI data.


NOTE: Beer will be available for those able to contribute towards the "beer
