The course is focused mainly on master‘s and doctor‘s degree students in the field of human brain mapping (or neuroimaging and MRI in general) regardless of primary background. Attendants obtain theoretical and practical skills in several neuroimaging techniques. The course covers mainly: Principles of MRI; Principles of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI); Processing of fMRI data; Practical hints for preparation of fMRI experiments and measurements; Functional and effective brain connectivity with fMRI; Morphometric methods; Diffusion imaging; Processing and analysis of EEG data; Simultaneous measurement of physiological signals (EEG, ECG, breathing, …) and fMRI; Specifics of animal MRI studies. Two practical sessions are included: measurement in CF MAFIL labs, and fMRI data analysis with SPM software.
