DRCMR Methods Course
Neuroimaging Basics is taught as a peer2peer course where students teach each other with expert help. We cover every major technique used at DRCMR, our philosophy is that everyone should have a basic grasp of everyone else’s research, so that we can give feedback and think creatively about cross-disicplinary and cross-methodological collaborations. The course consists of 14 lectures taught by experts in each topic:
- Experimental design principles
- Physiology of BOLD & EEG, Modelling BOLD responses and Perfusion
- Preprocessing, Spatial normalisation (SPM, FSL) and Structural MRI
- General Linear Model and Contrasts, and Inference at the First Level
- Group level inference and Multiple comparisons, Cluster-level correction, & Random Field Theory
- Diffusion MR
- MR Spectroscopy
- Data formats for Neuroimaging. How to arrange standards
- EEG acquisition methods and analysis
- Brain stimulation
- Visualising, Localising, and Reporting
- Non-parametric approaches
- Combining brain imaging with behavioral testing
- Dubious Research Practices and their Cures
