The National Brain Mapping Lab (NBML) held a two-day, theoretical and practical, workshop on the basics and principles of MRI and its implications in brain imaging, on January 1-2, 2020. The goal was to learn theoretical and practical principles of MRI imaging and its implications in brain imaging. To reach this goal, each section was ended with a final exam, and to pass the participants should score at least 75 of the total score. The grades are inserted in their certificate.
