The aim of this module is to provide hands-on practical experience in the analysis of neuroimaging data, and how to describe experiments and analyses in scientific reports. Students will learn to explain, report and critically evaluate experiments using fMRI and MEG, identifying the relative merits of these different cognitive neuroscience methods.
