Imaging in Neuroscience: with a Focus on Structural MRI Methods
Karolinska Institutet
Clinical Neurotechnology
About this course
The main purpose of the course is to provide the students with a solid understanding of the tools available to analyze brain structural data measured with structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI). The students will develop the ability to critically review results provided by different methods, to select the most adequate tools and experimental designs to answer different questions and to compare their relative advantages.
Learning outcomes
After attending the course the student should be able to:
- Explain how MR images are generated, what causes artifacts and how to control for them
- Describe how MRI is used today for dementia investigations
- Formulate the basics of surface-based analysis and voxel-based morphometry (differences, similarities, quality control etc.)
- Formulate the basis for multivariate data analysis using structural data in combination with other type of data
