Pre-Conference Workshop on Cognitive Neuroimaging
Cognitive neuroimaging techniques such as functional MRI allow us to map the processes of perception, attention, emotion, memory and action on to the human brain. The National Neuroimaging Facility (NNF) at CBCS, UoA, established with the support of the DST, was set up as a national resource for cognitive neuroscience research and is accessible to scholars across institutions. Currently, multiple fMRI studies are going on at NNF investigating ageing, time perception, meditation, bilingualism, poverty, obesity, neuroaesthetics, human-AI interaction, memory using structural and functional neuroimaging (VBM, DTI and task-based fMRI studies). CBCS has conducted two extensive workshops on Cognitive Neuroimaging focusing on hands on training in data acquisition and fMRI data analysis in 2020 and 2023.
The goal of this one-day pre-conference workshop is to introduce the participants with functional neuroimaging methodology including one hands-on session/demonstration of fMRI data acquisition at the National Neuroimaging Facility. This workshop will also cover fMRI experimental design strategies, preprocessing pipeline, possible research questions, implications and applications of fMRI, with an emphasis on experimental design and setting up the fMRI protocol for data acquisition. The expected outcome of this workshop is to encourage participants to pursue cognitive neuroimaging and motivate them to learn and explore more about the methodology for their specific research questions.
