Slab fMRI Analysis workshop
We’re in the middle of a workshop on fMRI analysis using FSL and Nipype, a step into an open-source world, allowing us reproducibility and transparency in our fMRI analysis. We learn how to use FSL, code, and create a full preprocessing to analysis pipeline. Looking forward to implementing this in our next fMRI projects and

Congratulations to Yoni Stern for Winning the Azrieli Graduate Studies Fellowship!
The PhD candidate Yoni Stern (co-supervised by Dr. Roy Salomon Prof. Danny Koren) has won the prestigious and competitive Azrieli Graduate Studies Fellowship. His work combines cognitive neuroscience and clinical psychology to understand how changes in the embodied “Self” are affected by stress during the early stages of psychosis using virtual reality technology. The Azrieli
