Functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) is an essential tool for the study of brain activity correlates to sensory, perceptual, and cognitive functions. This course is the first of a series of 3 courses, and aims to provide an introduction to functional neuroimaging. This course provides a foundation in the underlying neurochemistry and energetic that make functional neuroimaging possible, and a grounding in the physical principles of magnetic resonance imaging. This course will allow students to understand the basic principles underlying FMRI, including potential applications and limitations. The course will include hands-on tutorials with an introduction to using MRI scanners, so that students will understand how FMRI data are generated and can be assessed for quality. more information .
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) is an essential tool for the study of brain activity correlates to sensory, perceptual, and cognitive functions. This course aims to provide a solid foundation in FMRI experimental design and analysis sufficient to allow the student to conduct and report high-quality research using FMRI. The course is targeted to students new to FMRI research or those students with some experience in FMRI research that are seeking a deeper understanding of the various options available for analysis of FMRI data. The course will include multiple design and analysis assignments and several open discussion forums to provide practical experience in addition to the lecture format. The course will primarily focus on the use of the AFNI suite of programs for data analysis and visualization. Other software tools will be discussed where practical (e.g., FSL, SPM).
3. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Cognitive Neuroscience: Advance Topics.
This course builds on the foundations developed in the first two courses to consider several advanced topics, which could include: the physiology of neurovascular coupling, fMRI and the visual system, integrating multiple imaging modalities, and imaging special subject populations.
