200144 SE Seminar in Applied Psychology: Mind and Brain (2023W)

The course will teach the basics of data analyses for fMRI studies with a focus on preprocessing (using FSL) as well as further analyses of resting state data. Although previous experience with fMRI data analyses is not required, fMRI preprocessing is advanced. Students should all have a fundamental understanding of data analyses and statistics and should enjoy trouble-shooting on the computer and analyzing data. The students are required to install an virtual FSL package on their own computer. They will learn about the basics of MRI and fMRI, about how important preprocessing and noise reduction is and responsible conduct of research. The course is split in theoretical sessions and practical virtual sessions in which the students will be analyzing data in small groups.
