Lectures (Old)

These slides originated from Jody Culham’s course, Psychology 9223: Neuroimaging of Cognition, at Western University. They are intended to provide:

1. An introduction to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), with an emphasis on design and analysis, for students who are new to the field.
2. A reference for experienced users (particularly the brain anatomy sections).
