Overview

The course will cover recent advances in human brain imaging, concentrating on functional MRI
but also covering some PET papers and a discussion of other methods (EEG, MEG, Optical imaging,
and combination of fMRI and other techniques).
The first 1-2 meetings will be devoted to the basic physical principles of fMRI, and in the rest of the
course we will read a select set of brain imaging papers.  We will emphasize:
1- critical review of the experimental design: are the conclusions really supported by the data?
    What could be improved?
2- can brain imaging teach us about brain processing, or can it be used only to do "functional neuroanatomy"?
 
 

List of material to be covered, sorted by topic and by chronological order
(full citations are given at the end.)

Terminology:

"Primary readings" will be the focus of the presentation in class. Students are strongly
encouraged to read them before coming to class, so that we can have in-depth discussions.

"Background readings" is material that can help you understand the class better (inc.
reviews and 'lite' versions of the material published elsewhere). In case the background
readings contain material not covered in the primary readings, it may be touched-upon
in class, but it will not be the focus of it.

"Further readings" are advanced materials that will not be touched upon in class (but can,
for example, be used for the final project), OR articles that present similar/overlapping
material to that presented in class (e.g., by other groups).
