Gary Egan| Subject Overview: |
This subject introduces students to modelling and analysis techniques used in brain imagine research, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The course will include: introduction to Matlab programming; basic techniques for analysing structural, functional and diffusion MR images; techniques for modelling functional MR time series datasets. 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 computerbased projects. |
