Neuroscience and Neuroimaging

Martin Lindquist, PhD, MSc, Tor Wager, Dr. Elizabeth Sweeney, Ciprian M. Crainiceanu, John Muschelli III, Arnold Bakker, Tor Wager, PhD, Dr. Elizabeth Sweeney , and John Muschelli III

This specialization combines the strength of 4 different neuroscience courses into a cohesive learning experience. Taught by Johns Hopkins University, it begins with fundamental neuroscience concepts for neuroimaging. Neuroimaging methods are used with increasing frequency in clinical practice and basic research. Starting with the neuroanatomy of the brain, it then moves into principles of neuroimaging, including experimental design in neuroimaging, functional connectivity MRI, diffusion tensor imaging and spectroscopy imaging.

This specialization combines the strength of 4 different neuroscience courses into a cohesive learning experience. Taught by Johns Hopkins University, it begins with fundamental neuroscience concepts for neuroimaging. Neuroimaging methods are used with increasing frequency in clinical practice and basic research. Starting with the neuroanatomy of the brain, it then moves into principles of neuroimaging, including experimental design in neuroimaging, functional connectivity MRI, diffusion tensor imaging and spectroscopy imaging.

The specialization then continues with two courses that focus on Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, one of the most widely used techniques for investigating the living, functioning human brain as people perform tasks and experience mental states, and a convergence point for multidisciplinary work.

To conclude, the specialization moves into implementation of neurohacking using the R programming language, with the associated packages to perform data manipulation, processing, and analysis of neuroimaging data, using publicly available structural MRI.

What's inside

Four courses

Fundamental Neuroscience for Neuroimaging

(0 hours)
Neuroimaging methods are used with increasing frequency in clinical practice and basic research. 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.

Principles of fMRI 1

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is the most widely used technique for investigating the living, functioning human brain. This course covers the design, acquisition, and analysis of fMRI data, including psychological inference, MR Physics, K Space, experimental design, pre-processing of fMRI data, as well as Generalized Linear Models (GLM’s).

Principles of fMRI 2

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is the most widely used technique for investigating the living, functioning human brain. It is a convergence point for multidisciplinary work from many disciplines, including psychology, statistics, physics, computer science, neuroscience, and more. This course covers the analysis of fMRI data and is a continuation of the course “Principles of fMRI, Part 1”.

Introduction to Neurohacking In R

(0 hours)
Neurohacking in R introduces the R programming language for manipulating, processing, and analyzing neuroimaging data, particularly structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Concepts include inhomogeneity correction, image registration, and visualization.

Learning objectives

  • Learn about fmri data design, structure and acquisition.
  • Familiarize yourself with fmri artifacts and types of noise.
  • Learn how to read/write images of the brain in nifti format.
  • Learn about magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
