| | Pre-Conference Workshops | | | "Conducting Neuroimaging Studies from a Neuropsychologist's Perspective" Integrating neuroimaging techniques with neuropsychological and other neurobehavioral methods is often a powerful approach in human studies. Many applicants underappreciate the critical processes that enable a) identification of appropriate team members, b) building cohesion among members, and c) sustaining individual commitment and engagement throughout the project. Furthermore, psychologists without neuroimaging expertise often fail to fully utilize the expertise of their collaborators and thus struggle to communicate the import of their data. Building on existing literature and her own experiences, Dr. Mattson's workshop focuses on essential steps in defining effective, productive and innovative teams from the perspective of "non-imagers." Presenter: Sarah Mattson, PhD (Pre-Registration Required) | |
