2016 Summer Short Course in X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM)
June 6-10, 2016, Brown University
This one-week course is designed for faculty, postdocs, and graduate students who are interested in using XROMM in the field of comparative biomechanics. The course will provide hands-on instruction in marker-based and markerless XROMM animation, analysis of 3D skeletal kinematics, data management and measurement of precision and accuracy. The course is funded by an NSF Advances in Biological Informatics grant.
To apply complete the Google application form. Review of applications will begin on March 21, 2016 and continue until the course is filled.
