Modern brain imaging techniques - Event Related Potential technique 2500-PL-PS-SP301-12

During the first half of the course students will be introduced to basic issues on EEG signal generation in the brain and it’s recording, the brain’s spontaneous electrical activity, and event-related potentials (ERPs). We will also review studies on the most important ERP components in cognitive activity - the N170, MMN, P300, and the readiness potential. Some papers about ERPs in attantion, emotion and memory processes will also be discussed.

During the second half of the course students will become familiar with methods of structural and functional brain imaging sMRI, fMRI, VBM, DTI, and rs-fMRI. Students will read exemplar cognitive and clinical studies where these MR methods where applied.
