    NBE-E4530 Special Course in Human Neuroscience: Human brain connectivity (Spring 2017)

    Course logo

    Start date: 11.04.2017, room F175b (Otakaari 3, Espoo)

    Teaching: Lectures (4 x 4h), hands-on sprints (6 x 2h)


    Teacher: Enrico Glerean www.glerean.com, @brain_connect on twitter


    Teaching language: English


    Course content: This special course covers the current state of the art in human brain connectivity studies and practices. The student will learn how to pre-process, analyse and visualize functional brain connectivity data while gaining knowledge about brain network science and brain network anatomy in healthy and clinical populations. The course will focus on functional magnetic resonance imaging data, but the covered approaches can be applied to many other types of brain imaging data. The course will also introduce the participants to the use of open datasets such as the Human Connectome Project and the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange.


    Learning outcomes: After this course, the participant is able to

    1. List the common functional human brain networks in clinical and healthy populations.

    2. Explain methodological approaches, including their pitfalls, for assessing/estimating brain functional connectivity.

    3. Analyse and visualize brain connectivity data.

    4. Report and share results using online platforms such as github and neurovault.

    5. Critically study scientific literature and evaluate new findings on brain connectivity.


    Credits: 5 ECTS


    Teaching period: V


    Prerequisites: Statistics (NBE-E4030 or Becs-114.5501) and working skills on Matlab (or Python). Prior knowledge in brain imaging methods or neuroscience is an advantage but not mandatory.

    Level of the course: Master’s and doctoral level


    Study Material: Lecture slides, scientific articles. Book: Fornito, A., Zalesky, A., & Bullmore, E. (2016). Fundamentals of brain network analysis. Academic Press.
