Tutorials

These slides originated from my graduate course on brain imaging at UWO. 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 and2) a reference for experienced users (particularly the brain anatomy sections), and3) information for collaborators visiting Robarts Research Institute to assist them in planning well-designed and practical experiments on our system.
