Computational Neuroimaging Laboratory ยป Software Code in the below archive implements 2D versions of multiscale affine and rigid (rotation and translation) image registration, like that described by: Nestares O, Heeger DJ (2000) Robust multiresolution alignment of MRI brain volumes. Magn Reson Med 43:705-715. The first demonstration of the application of this code to optical imaging data is given in: Yang Z, Heeger DJ, Seidemann E (2007) Rapid and precise retinotopic mapping of the visual cortex obtained by voltage sensitive dye imaging in the behaving monkey.

Survival Tips for PhD Students | Scientific Malaysian Magazine by Juliana Ariffin Everyone starts graduate school for different reasons. Some may have always had a passion for science, others are determined to push the boundaries of human knowledge and discover their inner Einstein. You may even be a bit of an idealist and desire to improve human destiny even if you have to sacrifice yourself, ala Marie Curie. Or maybe you are a go-getter and you think a PhD is your stepping stone to a better future. For many, it will be combination of all the above. However, the journey through a PhD is hardly ever a straight and narrow road. Survival Tip #1: Choose a supervisor you get along with. One thing to be very careful about when starting a PhD is to choose a lab with a suitable supervisor for you. So before you commit to a lab, attend seminars by the supervisor you are aiming to work with, and talk to their current and former students. Survival Tip #2: Choose a project you are excited about, but make sure you have options! Survival Tip #6 Networking
Protocol Online - Your lab's reference book Home - Advancements in Science How to make your scientific posters stand out What can you do to make your poster draw the attention of busy, and quite possibly exhausted, researchers above the others? Use simple design techniques to enhance visibility and readability Big, clear images and figures First, don't try and put in too many figures or images. Split the layout into columns Columns make the lines shorter and, therefore, easier to read. Consider where the most important findings and figures should be on the poster Don't bury your conclusions and key figures at the bottom of the page. Use different font types and big font sizes (36-44 for titles and headings, larger than 22 for the body text) A sans-serif font should be used for headings. Justify columns of text to the left Full justification of columns may make the poster look neat, but it will make the text harder to understand. Make intelligent use of white space With scientific posters, it is very tempting to put in loads of information and use up every possible space. Keep text to a minimum
