MRInference: from data to knowledge
The general aim of the Winter School was to present modern statistical approaches to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data analysis. Nowadays we are facing a revolution in MRI analysis and the questioned solidity of previous results needs stronger attention to analysis methods. The present winter school has a practical approach in order to bring methodological instruments to improve the solidity of daily research workflows. [Homepage]
