Course #101-2-15
Tuesdays 12:00-14:00, Room 310, Bldg #34

This graduate level course for Psychology, Cognitive sciences, and Brain Sciences students focuses on advanced techniques for building and analyzing fMRI experiments. During the semester each student will build and carry out an fMRI experiment and perform several types of data analysis using Matlab. The course is taught in a computer lab and students are expected to write a considerable amount of Matlab code at home based on the examples taught in class. The grade will be based on two homework assignment that will be handed-in at the middle and end of the semester (each assignment = 50%).
