****FIRST CLASS MEETING ON THURSDAY, SEPT. 30th ****
This course is designed for graduate students with an interest in the physical basis of neuroimaging signals and the techniques for analyzing these signals. The class begins with a focus on the fMRI BOLD signal and the related physiological signals. We discuss analysis and visualization methods.
We then introduce diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and fiber
tracking (FT) methods (DTI-FT). The
physical signal and the algorithms will be introduced and explained.
The course is an advanced and intensive seminar. Some of the readings will be tutorial, but many
of the papers will be current papers that are at the cutting edge of methods
and the interpretation of the neuroimaging data.
The material of the first six weeks is described above. The
seminar participants will drive the direction of additional readings for the
latter portion of the class.
