DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is an important new research technology that allows inquiry into the brain activities associated with a wide variety of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional processes. Major advances will occur as researchers continue to utilize fMRI to develop multi-level, integrative models of normal functioning and psychopathology. The theoretical and methodological expertise of psychological scientists will be crucial to the pace of progress. Although fMRI offers psychological scientists an exciting new tool to develop models of brain-behavior interactions across diverse substantive areas, opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to use it are limited. To foster development of the use of fMRI technology in psychological research, the Science Directorate at the American Psychological Association (APA) has initiated an Advanced Training Institute in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (ATI-fMRI). The Institute, to be conducted on-site at a major imaging center, will provide an introduction to fMRI at a sufficiently advanced level to enable researchers at different academic levels and with different research interests to incorporate it into their research programs. The curriculum will provide basic knowledge of the physics, biology, and mechanics underlying the imaging process, of special research design and data analysis considerations, and of practical issues related to incorporating imaging into a research program.

描述（由申请人提供）：功能磁共振成像 （fMRI）是一项重要的新研究技术，可以调查 大脑活动与各种行为，认知和 情感过程。随着研究人员继续继续 利用fMRI开发正常功能的多级，集成模型 和心理病理学。理论和方法论专业知识 心理科学家将对进步的步伐至关重要。虽然fMRI 为心理科学家提供一种令人兴奋的新工具，以开发 各种实质领域的大脑行为相互作用，机会 获取使用它所需的知识和技能是有限的。养育 发展fMRI技术在心理学研究中的使用， 美国心理学会（APA）的科学局拥有 启动了功能磁共振的高级培训机构 成像（ATI-FMRI）。该研究所将在主要成像上进行现场进行 中心将在足够高级的水平上提供fMRI的介绍 使研究人员能够在不同的学术水平和不同的研究中 将其纳入其研究计划的兴趣。课程将 提供有关物理，生物学和机制的基本知识 成像过程，特殊研究设计和数据分析注意事项， 以及与将成像纳入研究有关的实际问题 程序。
