Outline of lecture
This lecture is composed of two parts: basic theory and computational practice of brain science and fMRI. Detailed information will be uploaded to OCW-i in the middle of October, 2012.
Purpose of lecture
The aim of this course is to provide to students background knowledge and skills training to further fMRI studies.
