14 Aug 20. Neuroimaging for research

Image

Aims:

• to provide an understanding of research, which uses neuroimaging techniques
• to develop research planning & designing skills, incorporating neuroimaging
• to enable interpretation & analysis of relevant neuroimaging data
• to relate neuroimaging research to clinical applications

Learning outcomes:

• describe imaging theory, techniques, analysis & applications
• discuss how imaging is used to investigate both normal & abnormal processes & functions (clinically & in research)
• design methodologically sound & practical research which uses neuroimaging
• analyse results & use statistics relevant to & derived from neuroimaging
• integrate health & safety regulations, & legislation, into the planning & execution of research which uses neuroimaging
• envision the translation from basic neuroimaging research to the clinical arena
• critically appraise existing research which uses neuroimaging, demonstrating awareness of reproducibility, reliability of techniques, & sources of bias, both in research & clinically
• be innovative in the discussion & presentation of work to peers
• formulate suitable grant & research proposals which incorporate neuroimaging
• initiate & execute research autonomously
• produce publishable research summaries
• demonstrate good practice in research communication & collaboration, including modern online methods
• engage with new developments building upon your neuroimaging knowledge
