The 9th annual Art of Neuroscience competition is now open for submissions.
The Art of Neuroscience is an international competition open to scientists and artists worldwide. We are looking for striking visualizations related to the field of neuroscience in its broadest sense. Submissions can include images or videos representing actual neural data or tissue, but also more abstract visualizations, sculptures or even musical scores that are in some way related to concepts about nervous tissue, the brain or cognition.
The deadline for this year's competition is May 15th, 2019. The winner will be awarded €1000. Four runners up (honorable mentions) will be selected and awarded a €250 prize.

FSL Mini Course, Dunedin, 18-22 February 2019
This intensive 5-day course covers both the theory and practice of functional and structural brain image analysis. Background concepts and the practicalities of analyses are taught in detailed lectures; these are interleaved with hands-on practical sessions where attendees learn how to carry out analysis for themselves on real data. After completing the course, attendees should be able to analyse their own FMRI and MRI data sets.
This Dunedin Mini course includes the majority of the material included in the standard FSL course, covering functional, structural, diffusion and resting state MRI analysis. We hope that the location and the substantially reduced registration fee (£400 for students and £600 for postdocs) provides a unique opportunity for ANS members to attend the course. Please find more information about the Dunedin FSL Course, including the link for registration, on our website: http://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fslcourse/dunedin2019.html.
