Principles of Neuroimaging B

--> URSA LISTING <--

Catalog Course Description

Instrumental imaging methods for the study of the nervous system with an emphasis on quantitative understanding and data interpretation and features common to modalities. X-Ray Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Positron Emission Tomography, MagnetoEncephalography, Transcranial Magneto Stimulation, Near Infra-red Imaging

Pre-Requisites

Principles of Neuroimaging I (Psychiatry 284A), Functional Neuroanatomy (292). Competence in integral calculus, electricity and magnetism, computer programming (any language), general statistics. .

Class Size

Class size is limited to 25 students, with priority given to students who are enrolled into the NeuroImaging Training Program

Textbooks

There is no core texbook for this course. Students will find the majority of the reading material on line and should prepare the readings prior to the in-class lecture.
