Practical: fMRI Data Analysis

Volledige vakbeschrijving

The most important goal of this practical is to familiarise yourself 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. During the first session, students will analyse the data of a simple demonstration experiment in BrainVoyager 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. During the second session, students receive data from another experiment and a detailed description of its procedures (stimulation protocol, etc.), and analyse these by following the steps learnt in the first session.
