Learning unit contents

The course is divided into two parts:

1) Brain imaging (Fabienne Collette and Arnaud d'Argembeau)

2) Psychophysiological techniques (Michel Hansenne)

 

Part Brain Imaging:

Presentation of the various techniques currently in use in functional brain imaging (mainly fMRI). Experimental desing and analyses. Technical presentations will be illustrated in different cognitive domains (memory, language, case studies

Part Psychophysiological techniques:

Presentation of central sychophysiology methods; Electroencephalogram, Evoked potential, Magnetoencephalography, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Transcranial direct current stimulation

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of this course, the student will be able:

- to understand the principles of the main neuroimaging techniques that are currently used in cognitive neuroscience and to criticize methodological aspects (e.g., experimental design) of cognitive neuroimaging studies

- to know the different central psychophysiological techniques (EEG, evoked potentials, Pet Scan, MEG, TMS, tDCS, IRMf).
