Summary
An introduction to the theory and practice of functional and structural neuroimaging, with a combination of lectures, hands on experience with MRI, and data analysis methods including: functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), morphometry and structural imaging including diffusion tensor imaging, simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG), and data analysis with e.g. SPM12, CAT12. This is a unique opportunity to get to know the newest techniques in the field of neuroimaging, and learn about the type of research that is being done in this area in a number of different faculties around Munich.
The time plan of the course is below and can be downloaded with the objectives here (PDF).
FAQ COVID-19
Inside the building, we all have to wear FFP2 masks until arrival at the seat. It is allowed to take off the mask while seated, given that there is enough distance to other people. We kindly ask all of you to take a cost-free antigen test (consisting of combined swabbing throat first and then nasal cavity) before entering the course room on Monday, Wednesday, Friday at the testing facility nearby in the LMU Biocenter https://schnelltest-lmu.de/, or at any other testing facility of your choice. If you have symptoms typical for Covid-19, we recommend a PCR test.
