WINTER 2002 (current/latest version: here)

Professor:
Marty Sereno -- sereno@cogsci.ucsd.edu
class: MWF 10:10-11:00 AM, CSB 180 (re-scheduled time)

Required Readings:
Buxton, R. (2001) Introduction to Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Sereno Lecture Notes (54-page pdf [8M]--print only 10 pages at a time!)
Sereno Lecture Notes--Surface-Based and EEG/MEG (pdf under construction)
Additional readings: below

Assignments:
final paper

Description and Prerequisites:
This course is an introduction to structural and functional MRI, cortical-surface based analysis, and the neural basis, recording, and localization of EEG and MEG signals. Although it does not require a background in linear algebra, electromagnetism, and the Fourier transform, we plan we plan to delve more deeply into the equations behind MRI (and EEG, MEG, and surface reconstruction) than what is found, for example, in the book, MRI: The Basics (1997), by Hashemi and Bradley. There is also a Bioengineering MRI course taught by Tom Liu (MWF 1:25-2:15 PM, Center 224A), another member of the new UCSD MRI center, that focuses exclusively on MRI (structural and functional) and assumes a stronger mathematical background.
