Introduction to Programming in Matlab
Full course description
The aim of this research elective program is twofold:
1. Develop basic and generalizable programming skills in MATLAB;
2. Apply programming concepts to Neuroscientific research.
MATLAB is a widely diffused programming and numeric computing platform. Through this elective, students will familiarize with basic MATLAB programming concepts and will learn how to use it to handle and analyze big data (multidimensional datasets) like those encountered in neuroscience and neuroimaging research.
In particular, we will explore examples of neuroimaging data analysis. At the end of the course, students will write a report about their data analysis approach and interpretation of results in subgroups.
Course objectives
With this course, students will:
1. develop fundamental and generalizable programming skills in MATLAB;
2. learn how to use programming tools to conduct neuroimaging research;
3. learn how to interpret the results of their analyses.
