Avainteksti

We will study the principles and properties of the main methods for human brain imaging.

Kuvaus

We will familiarize with the most important in vivo imaging methodologies for studying the structure and function of the human brain. Focus will be on the technologies required by these devices and how they collect information about the brain. We will elaborate the biological properties and processes in the brain that these imaging methods take advantage of. The limitations, safety issues and ethical viewpoints related to each technique will be considered.

Osaamistavoitteet

After this course, the student can list the principal imaging methods used in human brain research and clinical environments. The student will understand in which situations brain imaging can be useful and is able to compare the benefits against cons and risks.

For each imaging method, the student can:

-explain the function of the imaging device using scientific terminology

-isolate the physiological properties or changes that can be imaged in the brain

-describe properties of the collected information and the main stages of data analysis

-list the relevant safety issues
