This class aims to understand methods to measure brain activity including fMRI, EEG, and NIRS. In addition, students also learn about analysis methods or softwaas well as statistical methods.
Understanding mechanisms of EEG, fMRI, and NIRS.
Understanding analyses methods and software packages for EEG, fMRI, and NIRS
Understanding how to use a repeated-measures ANOVA for brain science.
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
electroencephalography (EEG)
near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
