The module comprises two topics:
(i) The physical principles of modern neuroimaging techniques, biophysical tissue properties that are exploited for generating image contrast, as well as signal processing strategies involved. In addition to state-of-the-art imaging technology including a 7T whole-body MRI scanner and a 306-channel MEG system, well-equipped electronics and radio-frequency workshops are available for methods-oriented research projects.
(ii) Computational neuroscience which includes topics such as image analysis and visualization concepts, statistical evaluation, morphometry and connectivity analyses, spatio-temporal modelling, cognitive modelling and theoretical models of brain function.
