will learn how to acquire, analyze, visualize, and interpret data from
four major MR modalities (structural MR, resting-state fMRI, diffusion
imaging, task-evoked fMRI) plus magnetoencephalography
(MEG) and extensive behavioral data. Lectures and labs will provide
grounding in neurobiological as well as methodological issues involved
in interpreting multimodal data, and will span the range from
single-voxel/vertex to brain network analysis approaches. </font><font face="Calibri"> </font></div>
