Additional information

A special emphasis of the course will be the design, implementation, and execution of perceptual and/or cognitive experiments by the participants. Participants will break into small groups to design their own fMRI experiments. Some of these experiments will be executed, and the resulting data analyzed, on the final day of the course.
