Human neuroimaging technologies and analytics methods enable exploration of the form, function, and connectivity of the living brain. Students will gain familiarity with the origins of brain imaging using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), be able to discuss the technical foundations of image reconstruction, view and process raw neuroimaging structural and time-series data, and make inferences about the brain in health and in disease.PSYC 4200 or PSYC 5265 recommended. Some background in coding using Matlab, R or Python is recommended. Other majors with Instructor's Permission.
