This course is an introduction to measuring human brain structure and function using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We will also briefly describe the essentials of human brain anatomy and physiology. Magnetic Resonance Image of the Brain. Montreal Neurological Institute 152, structural template image. The course introduces the basis of magnetic resonance imaging. We describe structural measures of gray and white matter in the brain, and functional measures of brain activity. Structural and functional MRI will be presented as methods to address a variety of research questions. We emphasize questions within linguistics, cognitive sciences and psychology. Experimental design and data analyses techniques adequate for different research questions are introduced. The promises and challenges of MRI will be discussed in the context of other methods to probe the living human brain. The teaching consists of lectures combined with seminars, laboratory visits, and practical exercises. Active participation is expected. The course is assessed continuously through active participation in seminars and laboratory exercises, a written examination, and the presentation of an independent project assignment.
