Outline of lecture
This lecture provides an introduction to the basic theory and practice of brain science based on the technology of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Students learn the human brain structure and functions, especially related to language, memory, perception, motion and emotion, and computational programming technologies pertaining to the applied informatics. Some methods of fMRI analysis will be discussed such as general linear model (statistical hypothesis testing), multi-voxel pattern analysis (machine learning) and resting-state functional connectivity (application of graph theory).We will conduct a tour of the fMRI facility of the school of bio-science and bio-technology on the campus of O-okayama.
