Course contents :
|
| Methods to process and analyse medical images, mainly oriented towards statistical analysis in functional neuro-imaging |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The aim is to have an overall understanding of the processing steps of medical images, with a view to functional neuro-imaging:
- image spatial preprocessing: realignment, normalisation, coregistration, segmentation
- statical modeling with the "General Linear Model" and estimation of its parameters
- statistical inference about these parameters and correction for the multiple comparison problem
- other methods: non-parametric statistic, connectivity, dynamic causal modeling, Bayesian inference, etc. |
