DeepMI FastSurfer / FreeSurfer course 2026
The DeepMI lab at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) is happy to announce the DeepMI FastSurfer / FreeSurfer course, a 2.5-day, hands-on, introductory course on state-of-the-art deep-learning methods for fast and reliable neuroimage analysis.
The course will equip participants with working knowledge about fundamental concepts in structural neuroimaging analysis, and enable them to conduct analyses of structural imaging data using the FastSurfer and FreeSurfer software packages.
After completing the course, participants will have gained an understanding of modern methods for the analysis of structural brain images, will have learned how to run both the FastSurfer and FreeSurfer softwares, and will know how to set up an analysis and work with the resulting outputs in the context of their own research projects.
The course consists of lectures, demonstrations, practical exercises, and provides ample opportunities for discussions and informal exchange.
