Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course will be held in English.

Aims of the course: The course teaches the theoretical background and practical steps necessary to perform (and interpret the results of) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data analysis of the human brain.

Course content: (1) The weekly lectures provide the necessary content to understand fMRI data acquisition, analysis, and interpretation and will give an overview of the current trends in the field. Students are required to actively participate and to give a blitz talk about a published fMRI study. (2) The weekly practical sessions will be held online via zoom. Students will be asked to analyze openly accessible fMRI data sets using the Nipype framework (https://nipype.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), involving both individual assignments and teamwork in smaller groups. Students are required to actively participate and to orally present the project outline/status/outcomes.

Teaching methods: The course consists of oral presentations given by the lecturer and the students; students are asked to actively participate in class and during the online practical sessions; work on individual assignments and in smaller groups; excursion to the fMRI scanner of the Faculty of Psychology.

Assessment and permitted materials

A maximum of 3 dates can be missed. The final grade considers active participation, oral presentations, and completion of assignments.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Basic knowledge of neuroscience and statistics. Knowledge of Python is beneficial but will also be brushed-up in the first practical sessions.

Examination topics

Will be discussed in the course.

Reading list

Will be discussed in the course. For a basic overview, see: Huettel, S.A., Song, A.W., & McCarthy, G. (2014) Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (3nd Edition). Sunderland, MA: Sinauer Associates.
