Course Objective and Content
| Course Objectives: | The aim of this course is to conceptually introduce the neuroimaging methods (MRI, fMRI, DTI, TMS, etc.) used in the field of neuroscience, as well as to enable students to design experiments in which they will use neuroimaging techniques to improve their practical skills and to enable them to analyze the data obtained from the experiments. |
| Course Content: | An overview of the advantages and disadvantages of different neuroimaging methods will be given and discussed in order to understand what is the background information of neuroimaging methods such as MRI, fMRI, TMS, DTI, etc., which provide the opportunity to examine the neural basis underlying human behavior. In addition, in order to improve the students' ability to conduct independent research, basic analyzes will be made after sample data sets collected by different methods are passed through the preprocessing stages. |
Learning Outcomes
|
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Will have theoretical knowledge about imaging methods in psychology 2) Will be able to choose the appropriate neuroimaging method for research questions 3) Will be able to collect data using neuroimaging methods effectively 4) Will be able to analyze the data collected in accordance with their hypotheses at a basic level |
