This seminar teaches problem solving skills for computational neuroimaging (incl. associated computational analyses of behavioural data). It deals with a wide variety of real-life problems that are brought to this meeting from the neuroimaging community at Zurich, e.g., concerning mass-univariate and multivariate analyses of fMRI/EEG data, or generative models of fMRI, EEG, or behavioural data.
Learning objective
1. Consolidation of theoretical knowledge (obtained in one of the following courses: 'Methods & models for fMRI data analysis', 'Translational Neuromodeling', 'Computational Psychiatry') in a practical setting. 2. Acquisition of practical problem solving strategies for computational modeling of neuroimaging data.
