B3: Introduction to fMRI data analysis and classification J Heinzle
University Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland
This tutorial is addressed to people interested in, but not yet familiar with, analysing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. It will introduce the key basics of fMRI data analysis and classification. The tutorial will start with a brief introduction to the physics and physiology underlying fMRI measurements. The main part will then be devoted to the analysis of fMRI data, focussing particularly on visual experiments. Finally, we will give a short overview of novel approaches using fMRI data for classification. The goal is to provide an overview over the general principles of fMRI data analysis and classification, and the material presented is not tied to any specific analysis software. We will highlight relevant references and emphasize potential pitfalls. We hope to provide participants with all the necessary ingredients to embark on their own analysis of fMRI data.
