Join us for an intensive three-day workshop focused on mastering functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) data analysis using the cutting-edge Satori software platform. This comprehensive summer school is designed for researchers, clinicians, and students seeking to advance their expertise in neuroimaging data processing and statistical analysis.
Learning Objectives
Participants will gain hands-on experience with:
Experimental Design & Data Preparation: Understanding fNIRS-specific experimental paradigms and data preprocessing workflows
Statistical Modeling: Mastering the General Linear Model (GLM) for both single-subject and multi-subject analyses
Artifact Management: Advanced techniques for motion artifact detection, visualization, and correction
Connectivity Analysis: Exploring functional connectivity patterns and their practical applications
Data Export & Integration: Seamless workflow integration with external analysis platforms (JASP, R)
Target Audience
This summer school is ideal for:
Neuroscience researchers working with fNIRS technology
Clinical professionals using neuroimaging in their practice
Graduate students and postdocs in neuroscience, psychology, or biomedical engineering
Data analysts seeking specialized training in neuroimaging statistics
Format
The program combines theoretical foundations with practical exercises, featuring invited expert speakers and hands-on analysis sessions. Participants will work with real datasets and receive personalized guidance from experienced instructors. The workshop concludes with a collaborative final challenge where participants apply their newly acquired knowledge to complex analytical problems.
Exclusive Benefits
All participants will receive a complimentary Satori software license valid until December 31, 2026, allowing continued exploration and application of the techniques learned during the workshop. This extended access ensures participants can implement their new skills in their own research projects and fully evaluate the software's capabilities.
