Fifth layer fMRI dinner: What can we learn about cortical layers using laminar fMRI?
On Dec 7th 2022, we will host the 5th virtual layer-fMRI dinner. The board of the layer-fMRI dinner group has invited the following speakers to initiate discussions on the theme: Layer-fMRI signal origin: From neurons to vessels to BOLD. Moderated by Luca Vizioli and Tyler Morgan The entire event will last for about 90 min…
Fourth layer fMRI dinner: Neurons → vessels → fMRI
On Oct 6th 2021, we aim to host the 4th virtual layer-fMRI dinner. The board of the layer-fMRI dinner group has invited the following speakers to initiate discussions on the theme: Layer-fMRI signal origin: From neurons to vessels to BOLD. Amir Shmuel (McGill): The complexity of lamina resolved neuronal activity, and the spatial specificity of…
Layer-fMRI Analysis Project
One dataset, many analyses: an overview of the diverse processing approaches in layer-fMRI. The layer-dinner group would like to invite you to show us your analysis pipeline in a brief presentation at an upcoming “Layer-fMRI dinner” in the Spring of 2022. The analysis of layer-fMRI data is challenging and not straightforwardly doable with standardized streamlines…
Third layer-fMRI dinner: Cognitive Models and Cortical Layers.
On April 20th 2021, the third virtual layer-fMRI took place. 120 (unique) attendees joined and discussed the connection between layer-fMRI and cognitive models. This meeting is held as a succession of the first two virtual dinner in May 2020, and Sept 2020: https://layerfmri.com/virtualevent1/https://layerfmri.com/virtualevent2/ In this third event, it will be discussed how the layer-fMRI methodologies…
Second Layer-fMRI dinner: Laminae in the brain; fMRI vs. electrophysiology
On Sept 28th 2020, the second virtual layer-fMRI event is scheduled. This meeting is held as a succession of the first virtual dinner in May 2020: https://layerfmri.com/virtualevent1/ In this second event, it will be discussed how the research field can bridge the gap between layer-dependent activity measures that are obtained with fMRI and electrophysiology, respectively.…
First layer-fMRI Dinner: Layer-fMRI contrasts
On May 7th 2020, there was the first virtual layer-fMRI dinner event to discuss current issues in the field. This meeting was held as a replacement of an originally planned layer-fMRI dinner at ISMRM and happened in succession of an earlier in-person layer-fMRI dinner in November 2019 (meeting minutes here). Below you find the important…

2015: The Nijmegen Layers Analysis Meeting
On October 22nd and 23rd 2015, David Norris hosted the first layer-fMRI workshop in Nijmegen. This workshop was focusing on hands-on analysis questions in layer-fMRI. Attendees were asked to share example data across vendors and acquisition methods. The agenda contained open discussions on the following questions: What data quality can we expect?Image registrationDefining and determining…
