The course focuses on state-of-the-art imaging techniques of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Lectures lay the groundwork for understanding the hardware and the bases of signal acquisition; address task design to elicit the cognitive processes of interest, preprocessing and statistical analysis of the data; and introduce advanced computation techniques for understanding the underlying cortical dynamics of clinical and typically-developing populations. Students will have a hands-on experience performing this type of research, where they will perform an fMRI experiment and analyze these data. Within the course, the students will collect their own fMRI data and learn how to process the images.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Course Outline<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Students, professors, and researchers excited and interested about brain functioning and imaging, including, but not limited to, medical doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, biomedical and computer engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, basic neuroscientists, physicists, chemists and even philosophers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Registration Website<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><u><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/h1PVUm\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en-GB&amp;q=https:\/\/goo.gl\/h1PVUm&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1512577551076000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFCeSyodISSO6J5g95MTjaJdthdnA\">https:\/\/goo.gl\/h1PVUm<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE: All lectures will be taught in English without translation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the \u201cHands On\u201d lectures, students will be provided a desktop computer with Matlab and SPM installed.<\/p>\n<p>The practical lectures are limited to 30 students due to computer lab space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Faculty<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>John VanMeter<\/li>\n<li>Adam Green<\/li>\n<li>Alexandre Rosa Franco<\/li>\n<li>Augusto Buchweitz<\/li>\n<li>Alessandro Mazzola<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Course Outline<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Day 1 (January 16<sup>th<\/sup>) \u2013 Basics of functional MRI (fMRI) \/ Designing Paradigms<\/p>\n<p><em>Module 1 &#8211; How brain images are formed from MRI\u2019s<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Module 2 &#8211; Imaging brain function: Designing tasks, and investigating cognition.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Module 3 &#8211; After acquiring the data: What to do with these images?
