Description:

fMRI is the workhorse of cognitive neuroscience research. This course will take an in-depth look at this methodology, including hands on experience analyzing imaging data. The course will address the following issues: How do MRI and fMRI work? What does fMRI actually measure and how does that relate to cognition? What are the standard steps involved in processing and analyzing fMRI data to help answer specific questions? The course culminates in the production of a report of a novel analysis of imagining data that the students have performed (in small groups), including a broader description of what that analysis reveals about the neural basis of cognition. Prereq: COGS 102.
