Brain Innovation will be holding a BrainVoyager QX Training Course from the 20th - 21st June, straight after the OHBM meeting in Melbourne Australia.

The course is intended for beginners as well as for users with an intermediate level of experience with BrainVoyager 2000 or BrainVoyager QX.

There will be lectures focusing on background knowledge of basic and selected advanced analysis methods as well as practical sessions that offer the opportunity to work with BrainVoyager QX on sample data sets. Attendees should be familiar with essential concepts of functional MRI and possess basic knowledge of statistical concepts.

Note that the number of participants is limited to 20 persons. The costs for participation are Euro 300. This will cover the course, lunch, refreshments and dinner at the first day but do not include accommodation.

Our Japanese distributor, Namoto, has kindly sent us this photo of the Cherry trees in full blossom in Tokyo.

This photo was taken in downtown Tokyo in a place called "Chidoriga fuchi" on the moat of the Imperial Palace. Hanami is the tradtional custom of enjoying the beauty of the spring cherry blossom, and usually involves an outdoor party underneath the blooming trees during the brief two week period that the blossom is out.

Namoto have represented us as our sole Japanese distributors for over 10 years, and support customers with a welath of knoweldge and experience of our products. We wish our them and our Japanese customers the very best for Hanami.

Namoto's Japanese language web site is at www.Namoto.com, and you can email them at mid@namoto.com.
