Would you like to obtain good knowledge of the theoretical foundations of SPM and DCM and their application to empirical fMRI data?
This course teaches state-of-the-art methods and models for fMRI data analysis. It covers all aspects of statistical parametric mapping (SPM), incl. preprocessing, the general linear model, frequentist and Bayesian inference, multiple comparison corrections, and event-related designs, and Dynamic Causal Modelling (DCM), a novel approach for identification of nonlinear neuronal systems from neurophysiological data. A particular emphasis of the course will be on methodological questions arising in the context of neuroeconomic and clinical studies.
Programm:
Lectures (incl. practical sessions) take place on Tuesdays, 8:15 - 12:00, due to Covid-19 all lectures will be held online.
In this year's course, we will analyze data which was acquired in previous years. Unfortunately, the current sitaution does not allow us to scan our own data this year.
We will use Moodle (https://moodle-app2.let.ethz.ch) to share slides etc.
