PY 746 - Research Methods in Clinical Neuroscience


This course serves as an overview of imaging techniques, where there will be an emphasis on defining the structural vs. functional imaging modalities. Students will develop a proficiency in utilizing CT and MRI structural imaging techniques as they will be able to identify the principles behind the process and type of data. Clinical significance of the methods will be illustrated by applicable examples. Additional focus will be on EEG and EPs basic principles that are the foundations behind the acquisition process and data analysis. Further focus will be placed on nuclear medicine techniques, such as SPECT and PET, along with identifying the basic principles behind the acquisition process and data analysis. Students will learn to make decisions on how to apply multimodality imaging data in clinical settings. (2 credits)
