About this course: Neuroimaging methods are used with increasing frequency in clinical practice and basic research. Designed for students and professionals, this course will introduce the basic principles of neuroimaging methods as applied to human subjects research and introduce the neuroscience concepts and terminology necessary for a basic understanding of neuroimaging applications. Topics include the history of neuroimaging, an introduction to neuroimaging physics and image formation, as well as an overview of different neuroimaging applications, including functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, perfusion imaging, and positron emission tomography imaging. Each will be reviewed in the context of their specific methods, source of signal, goals, and limitations. The course will also introduce basic neuroscience concepts necessary to understand the implementation of neuroimaging methods, including structural and functional human neuroanatomy, cognitive domains, and experimental design.
Who is this class for: This course is intended for those interested in neuroimaging methods and new to neuroscience. No prior knowledge of neuroscience, physics or statistics is needed. All neuroimaging principles and neuroscience concepts and terminology relevant to neuroimaging are introduced in this course.

I was expecting a bit more of how to interpret neuroimaging; and even as I did not find exactly what I was looking for, the course showed me some very interesting stuff. A few stars less for those personal expectatives raised, but recovered mostly for all the deep and interesting info in other neuro and tecnical topics. I will recomend the course.
Well constructed course with an wealth of information provided and resources after completion as well.
Brilliant , Easy to understand , using it in conjunction with other neuroscience courses. Help build knowledge base .
Very useful for the first contact approach
