Skills to be acquired in this module | + Neurosci. knowlg. ++ Expt. Methods + Independent research + Scient. Literature + Social skills + Interdiscipl. knowlg. ++ Maths/Stats/Progr. + Data present./disc. + Scientific English + Ethics This module offers a concise introduction to the basic principles of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Students will gain essential knowledge about experimental design, data collection and analysis. Special emphasis will be laid on the statistical background of fMRI data analysis and a hands-on introduction to SPM and FSL, two widely-used and free software packages for fMRI data analysis and results visualisation. |
