Principles of Neuroimaging B, Winter, 2015 - Class Schedule and Syllabus

Main course page for Principles of Neuroimaging (2014-15)
M284A Principles of Neuroimaging A

Week 1 - MRI and fMRI

Monday 1/5/15

- MRI II Speaker: Cohen

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is probably the most influential and most flexible current means of imaging the human brain. It features a vast number of separable contrast mechanisms, and a near ideal combination of non-invasiveness, safety, resolution and metric accuracy. However, it is extraordinarily expensive and has limited temporal resolution, especially for functional studies

OUTLINE Required Readings

Wednesday 1/7/15

- fMRI and MotionSpeaker: Cohen

Week 2 - Artifacts, Image Quality, Diffusion

Monday 1/1215

- Artifacts Speaker: Cohen

Wednesday 1/14/15

- Diffusion Physics Speaker: Ben Ellingson

Required Readings Slides should be up soon.

Suggested Further Reading

Sadly, the library does not have a subscription for the journals below (Mark has copies on reserve in his office):

Week 3 - Holiday and a canceled class

Monday 1/19/15

Martin Luther King Day

Wednesday 1/21/15

Class canceled due to other academic commitments. Sorry

Week 4 - Optics, SQUIDs MRI Contrast

Monday 1/26/15

Optics I. Speaker: Zachary Taylor

File:Reflection.jpg

The overall goal of this lecture is to establish that: - Physical constants have tangible meanings - Plane waves form a physically unrealizable but extremely good approximation to real systems - Boundaries bend light - Physical constants, plane wave mechanics, and boundaries can be used to describe the operation of a lens - The PSF gives a good indication of the overall performance of an imaging system - All of these concepts have analogues in other areas of engineering (ie circuits, mechanical vibrations, etc.)''

Outline:

  • Constitutive parameters (ε, μ, η, n, etc.)
  • Plane wave basics
  • Plane waves at boundaries
  • Lenses
  • Advanced imaging properties of lenses
  • Point spread function.

Required Readings Zach has very kindly agreed to post his Optics lecture notes. Suggested Further Reading
