Course description

In this course, you will get a deeper understanding of the neuroimaging methods magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) to measure human brain activity and learn tools to analyse neural time series data. We will cover the underlying signals and how to measure them (including next generation systems), how to design experiments, data preprocessing, sensor and source level analysis.

The course will consist of a series of lectures and tutorials where you will get to analyse MEG and EEG data. It is hosted by The National Facility for Magnetoencephalography (NatMEG) at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet.

Prerequisites and Selection

Prerequisite courses, or equivalent

Background in medicine, biomedicine, biology, psychology, cognitive science, medical imaging, computational biology or similar. At least basic medical statistics.

Selection

Selection will be based on:  
1) the relevance of the course syllabus for the applicant’s individual study plan/research (according to written motivation).
