Introduction to Brain Imaging in Neuroscience: With a Focus on MRI, PET, EEG and MEG Methods

The course covers brain imaging methods, and how these methods can be used to assess the function and structure of the human brain. The course is particularly suitable for those who wishes to include brain imaging in their neuroscience research, medical instrumentation development, or clinical practice. During the course, you will achieve a good understanding of the methods used to measure human brain function and brain structure within the field of neuroscience. The focus is on magnet resonance imaging (structural and functional MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) methods. The course covers the theoretical background to these methods and will give you a good overview of how they are used within research and healthcare. The course also covers how the methods may be combined in multimodal analyzes, and discusses the interplay between development of instrumentation, methods, applications and theory within the brain imaging field.
