Module aims
Students will be challenged to think critically about experimental design and hypothesis testing in neuroimaging. This module will give you the opportunity to develop your design skills by generating your own experimental designs to address specific questions. The objective is to be able to describe the design of a novel, valid neuroimaging experiment in sufficient detail to conduct the experiment and provide a publishable report of your methods.
