Course Description:
This course provides opportunities for post graduate students and undergraduate students in psychology and other related disciplines to learn the methodological basis for the major neuroimaging tools and their applications in neuroscience. The course will consist of a series of lectures to be given by experts in the field and of literature (to be announced later). As prerequisite, the students should have taken introductory undergraduate courses in neuroscience. The lectures will have two 45-min presentations with a 15 min break.
