The International Workshop on Resting-State fMRI: First Circular


Beijing – P. R. China
5th – 6th April 2009


Introduction:
    The international workshop on resting-state fMRI will be held at the Beijin Normal University, P. R. China on April 5-6, 2009. The purpose of the workshop is to spread the development of resting-state fMRI, and foster the interests of the researchers in resting-state fMRI study. This workshop will provide a forum for discussion on resting-state fMRI, and it will strengthen the understanding of resting-state fMRI and promote the resting-state fMRI application in cognition and pathology studies.
