Title: Applying Bayesian Ideas in a Multisite fMRI Study

Abstract:

Use of multiple sites in a brain imaging study provides an opportunity to increase sample size beyond what can typically be achieved at a single site. Multiple site studies however introduce a new source of variation, scanner-to-scanner variation, that can complicate analysis. The FBIRN (Function Biomedical Informatics Research Network) project has been exploring methods for multi-scanner studies in the context of schizophrenia. Bayesian ideas influence design of studies, reliability analysis, and data analysis.
