About this course

Neuroscience techniques are undergoing a rapid development. These developments open up new possibilities for investigating the brain as a network at various levels. We will introduce a range of advanced techniques which currently are being applied in neuroscience in particular to study brain networks. We aim at covering both the basics of the techniques and how they are applied to address specific research questions.

Learning outcomes

The topics to be covered include:

  • advanced MR imaging
    • mathematical models of the BOLD response
    • new acquisition techniques for BOLD
    • imaging layers and columns
    • MR spectroscopy
    • resting state fMRI
    • fMRI combined with EEG
  • stimulations approaches
    • TMS combined with EEG
    • deep brain stimulation
    • optogenetics
  • two-photon imaging
  • advanced electrophysiology
    • multi-unit recordings in animals
    • intracranial recordings in humans
    • spectral estimation and cross-frequency interaction in multi-channel data
