Notes for PSYG4043 - Data analysis for Neuroimaging
Summary
These are the materials for a data analysis for neuroimaging module [PSYG4043] at the University of Nottingham, a core module on the MSc Cognitive Neuroscience.
In the class, we acquire various MRI data sets - (emphasis on fMRI, anatomical, and/or DTI) in small groups. We then use a combination of tools to analyse the data.
The module is for 10 credits and runs for seven 2h sessions.
