    Core content: This special course gives an overview of advanced approaches for analyzing and modeling human brain imaging data. The student will learn the main differences between univariate and multivariate analyses, and between encoding and decoding models. The students will also apply the different techniques to real data. The course will also give basic knowledge about the functional organization of the human visual system which will be used as a case example of how the different techniques are used in the context of neuroscientific questions.

    Learning outcomes: After this course the student can
    (1) list approaches for analyzing and modeling functional brain imaging data
    (2) explain the difference between decoding and encoding models
    (3) analyze brain imaging data using different approaches
    (4) choose the appropriate analysis or modeling approach to new data
    (5) critically review scientific literature on “brain decoding”

    Prerequisites:  Matlab (or python if you don't need help..). Basic knowledge of functional brain imaging (preferably fMRI), human brain function and signal processing.
    Recommended course: NBE-E4045 Functional Brain Imaging
