About the talk

Functional MRI is not highly reproducible, and a lot of factors are influencing this. Some we can control, and some we can’t. fMRI data are extremely sensitive; we cannot always control the quality. But there are things we can do to improve reliability in fMRI. We are going to go over the fragility of fMRI data and what we can do to ensure the data is managed in the best way possible.
