Brain Imaging Methods (954C8)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Spring teaching

Modern cognitive neuroscience research relies on brain imaging methods. Two popular techniques that enable us to non-invasively image the function of the brain are functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), and electroencephalography (EEG).

This module will give you a thorough theoretical and practical grounding in the application of these brain imaging methods to research questions in human cognitive neuroscience. You'll gain hands-on experience processing both fMRI and EEG data, and will have the opportunity to observe and participate in a real ongoing fMRI study.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 26 hours of contact time and about 124 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
