| Generic Skills: | The course objectives are to train students in the principles and practice of modelling and analysing MRI data in the context of neuroscience research. The course will provide students with a detailed understanding of MRI image processing, including structural, functional and diffusion MR data. Students will be instructed in the use of Matlab for image analysis, and will utilise this understanding to complete three computer based projects. |
