Abstract
The course is one of the core introductory courses of the Programme that give the overview of the state-of-the-art methodologies to study Cognition and Brain Function. Methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS), and others provide us with new insights into the structure and function of the human brain, along with more widely used electroencephalography (EEG). Recently, with the advent of superconductivity, a multichannel magnetoencephalography (MEG), the method that allow to record the activity of the same neural population as EEG does, came about and have been successfully applied for localizing sources in the brain. Nature and origin of electric, magnetic, NIRS, and blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) responses will be discussed throughout the course. The course is recommended for students of the Master’s program who are using or going to use the advanced neuroimaging methodologies.
