Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course is dedicated to advanced research methods in developmental science. This course covers practical applications of neuroimaging methods in studies with children and provides both theoretical knowledge about neuroimaging techniques and practical experience in data analyses of neuroimaging data.
The theoretical part of the course focuses on experimental design in developmental science and suitability of neuroimaging methods including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG).
The practical part of the course covers the main steps of fMRI data analysis and its methodological limitations taking into account considerations associated with pediatric samples. Students conduct their own analysis of fMRI data during this part of the course.
The course is recommended not only for students who plan to use neuroimaging techniques to study human development, but as well, for those who want to be able to interpret neuroimaging results and critically evaluate the methods of studies published in modern scientific literature.
Prerequisite: knowledge of statistics would be an advantage, but not required.
Learning Objectives
- to make students being able to think critically about experimental design and hypothesis testing in neuroimaging studies with children and adolescents from developmental perspective
- to provide the knowledge about principles of modern neuroimaging techniques
- to provide practical experience in preprocessing and analyzing neuroimaging data with samples of children and adolescents
- to make students being able to apply data analysis pipelines for developmental neuroimaging data
- to make students being able to interpret neuroimaging results and critically evaluate the methods of studies published in scientific literature
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Students will learn about advanced principles of neuroimaging methods including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG).
- Students will be able to describe the design of a modern neuroimaging experiment and provide a publishable report of experimental methods.
- Students will be able to perform fMRI preprocessing steps including skullstripping, despiking, coregistration, normalization, motion correction, slice-time correction, and smoothing.
- Students will learn about general linear model (GLM) and will be able to perform various statistical analyses of fMRI data including ANOVA and t-test.
- Students will be able to create figures showing results of whole-brain analyses and to draw basic conclusions from the figures about mechanisms underlying cognitive processing in the human brain.
- to reasonably choose suitable neuroimaging methods for studying cognitive development with samples of children and adolescents
- to evaluate validity of hypotheses and results based on experimental design and properties of neuroimaging technique
- to install software packages for fMRI data preprocessing and analysis
- to apply software packages for the following fMRI preprocessing steps: despiking, registration, normalization, motion correction, slice-time correction, and smoothing
- to deploy general linear model (GLM) for performing statistical analyses of fMRI data
- to create figures and tables showing results of whole-brain fMRI analyses
- to draw basic conclusions from the figures about mechanisms underlying cognitive processing in the human brain
