Main Assessment In: April/MayCourse Aims
Functional brain imaging has become an essential tool in Biopsychology and Neuroscience that has changed the way we think about the brain today. This course aims to give an in-depth introduction to the basics of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The course will cover physical and physiological basics of the fMRI-signal, experimental strategies, and analysis principles.
Intended Learning Outcomes of Course
By the end of this programme students will be able to :
introduce the physical and physiological basics of fMRi imaging
read about the current models explaining neurovascular coupling: the link between neuronal activity and influx of oxygenated blood.
discuss experimental design issues of fMRI research
get hands on experience with the analysis of fMRI sample data
evaluate fMRI research in light of newly acquired knowledge about the basics of the BOLD-signal
