Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience
Practical: fMRI Data Analysis
Full course description
The most important goal of this practical is to familiarise students with the different types of data that are usually collected during an fMRI experiment, and a number of basic analytical steps necessary to calculate statistical results and visualising those values on an image of the brain.
Students will analyse the data of a simple demonstration experiment in Brain Voyager QX based on step-by-step instructions and under supervision of a tutor. After this session, students will be introduced to a number of basic features of this software used for visualisation, exploration and analysis of functional time series.
The final assessment for this course is pass or fail - and not a numerical grade between 0,0 and 10,0.
Course objectives
Students:
- can explain and apply the elementary steps of the analysis of MRI data;
- can identify how one should deal with disturbances of the signal;
- can (at a basic level) analyse data collected by Brain Voyager QX, by a systematic plan, can base their choice of statistical tests, and can interpret the end results are addressed.
