COURSE 1

FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE COURSE

Assoc. Prof. Barış Metin

Introduction to fMR workshop

fMR is a widely use method in cognitive neuroscience researches. The basic principle of fMR is tracking the time-course of Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) signal and fitting mathematical models to this time course in order to estimate statistical significance of task variables.

COURSE 2

QUANTITATIVE EEG COURSE

Assist. Prof. Celal Salcini

Electroencephalography is a non-invasive neuroimaging tool measuring the summation of neuronal postsynaptic potentials recorded by electrodes placed on scalp and is the most widely used technology in the neuroimaging literature. The term quantitative EEG is an umbrella term that covers efforts to quantify and statistically analyze EEG data. Following the discovery of new analyses techniques and methods, there is a logarithmic increase in the number of EEG research in neuroscience, psychiatry and neurology. For the future, a general expectation of the researchers is that, EEG will become a clinical routine diagnostic tool for clinicians. The aim of this workshop is to give an overview of the EEG methods and analyses techniques.

At the end of the course, participants will be given a certificate of participation.
