Description

Principles and applications of analysis approaches in neuroimaging. The course aims to promote understanding of MEG/EEG signals and neural phenomena (evoked responses, oscillatory activity, connectivity), and to give insights into how to apply different analysis approaches (including machine-learning and multimodal imaging) for obtaining quantitative measures from the recorded signals.

Learning outcomes

The course consists of lectures and assignments with the objective of learning

of a variety of brain research methods and the related recorded signals
how to conduct appropriate evaluation of the quality of the collected data
to understand and to apply different ways to obtain quantitative measures (e.g. evoked responses, oscillatory activity) from the recorded brain signals
how to combine different neuroimaging modalities in the analyses
to become familiar connectivity and machine learning approaches

Additional information

Teaching language(s) and learning language(s): English

Completion modes: Lectures, essays, group assignments (contact teaching, primarily independent work), reading material.

Assessment criteria: assignments are assessed on the basis of how the doctoral student masters the contents of the study unit and achieves the learning outcomes of the study unit. A pass requires that the assignments must be completed successfully. If there is contact teaching included, active participation in the class and successful completion of any other assignments indicated in the teaching is also required.
