Short description and the goals for the OHBM BrainHack
The aim of this project is to crate educational simulations for understanding the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signal. We are going to create single script simulations with simple graphical user interfaces to allow self driven exploration of fundamental fMRI concepts such as magnitude, phase, T2* decay, blood oxygenation effect (BOLD), and vascular magnetic field effects. Historically critical papers, equations, and figures will be linked to these scripts to build them as entry point pedagogical devices for people who have programming experience. The long term goal of is to build this repository as an educational resource to teach MRI basics to create other teaching material such as videos. An important source of inspiration for this project is https://www.youtube.com/c/3blue1brown . Two prototypical scripts are used in the videos below which were part of a presentation that required visual beyond still figures or animations:
