| Summary | This elective course is for students with a specific interest in Functional Imaging. Students will be able to focus in great detail on techniques such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Electro-encephalography (EEG) and Magneto-encephalography (MEG). Functional Imaging experimental design and data analysis will also be taught so that on exit, students will independently be able to set up and execute Functional Imaging experiments, and extract data appropriately to generate robust outcomes and rigorous conclusions. |

| Additional Information (Assessment) |
Assessment will consist of continuous, in-course assessments and a final assessment. In-course assessment will be composed of a mixture of multiple choice-type questions, short essays, practical tasks, contributions to discussions and group learning activities - and will be delivered in time with individual modules making up the course. Final assessment will normally include a combination of multiple choice-type questions and short essays and it will take place at the end of the course period.
A number of bespoke technologies and the University's online assessment tool QuestionMark Perception will be used to deliver the more interactive and visually driven elements of assessment.
The principle of constructive alignment will underpin all assessments. This will ensure the assessment tasks are aligned with the specific course objectives.
