 As part of the course there will be a hands-on workshop with BrainVoyager QX fMRI analysis software (www.brainvoyager.com). In order to take part in this workshop you will need to bring a laptop computer with you on which to install the software.

BrainVoyager QX will work on Windows PCss, Macs and Linux.

While many operations of BrainVoyager QX run with modest working memory demands, a minimum of 1 GB is recommended (2Gb for Linux), in addition to get the most out of the workshop you should have a reasonably modern laptop - it is unlikely that a netbook would be able to run the software.

For Macs BrainVoyager QX is fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and for Linux BrainVoyager QX is compatible with most 32 bit and 64 bit Linux distributions using a 2.6 kernel.
