Description: This course will provide the graduate student with the
knowledge and understanding of recent techniques for the analysis of
anatomical and functional neuroimaging data. Due to the interactive nature of the topic, all interested students involved in neuroimaging experiments (e.g., in Engineering, Cognitive Neuroscience, Social Sciences
and related fields) are welcome to attend. A series of lectures provides
a general introduction and overview required to understand current literature on this subject. In the second part of this course, students will
report and summarize on specific topics of the recent literature in a seminar format.
Prerequisities: Basic math, statistics and neuroanatomy
Grading: Seminar project: 70%, Discussion: 30%.

Focus
Special attention is given to:
non-invasive data acquisition methods in neuroimaging;
human studies;
the interaction of methodological and experimental approaches;
the introduction of a common terminology and ontology in this field;
cross-fertilization by mutual exchange of experience.
This course is not an introduction into:
functional neuroanatomy;
invasive methods (recording from cells or cell assemblies);
statistics or programming languages;
using SPM, AFNI, FreeSurfer (or the like).
