Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School). All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student, you will be placed on the waiting list for the course until enrollment deadline. After the deadline of enrollment, available seats will be allocated to students on the waiting list. Learning objectives. A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: • develop a research question from an original idea, and to translate it into formal, quantitative, and falsifiable hypotheses • design experiments and analysis strategies to test these hypotheses using the state-of-the-art cognitive & computational neuroimaging methods • present their experimental project to scientific communities for scrutiny and feedback Content. This is a practical course in cognitive and computational neuroimaging. Cognitive and computational neuroimaging aims at combining theoretical models of cognition with neuroimaging, to ask how cognitive processes are encoded and enacted by the brain. We take cognition in the broadest sense to include any mental or behavioral process, however the course will focus primarily on four key cognitive domains: sensory perception, reward, decision-making and motor action. The course will be strongly practical with ample opportunity for group work. There will be four phases. 1) Finding your question 2) Building your cognitive models 3) Designing your experiment 4) Presenting your experimental design. Students will form into small groups, and guided by experts they will go through each stage of these four phases, culminating in a group presentation at the end, in which their chosen experiment will be presented and scrutinized by the rest of the course attendants and instructors. Students are strongly encouraged to bring their own research interests and applications into the course. Participants. The course is designed for anyone with interests in cognitive science, psychology, computational neuroscience, neuroimaging, neuroeconomics. Programming skills are advantageous but not essential. Basic statistical training and familiarity with high school mathematics is essential. As the course is explicitly designed for students from interdisciplinary backgrounds, no other prerequisites are required. Relevance to graduate programmes. The course is particularly relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: Psychiatry Neuroscience Biostatistics and Bioinformatics It is also relevant to graduate programmes in: Psychology Cognition and Communication Computer science Language. English Form. Five day long course. Lectures in morning and early afternoon, group work early to late afternoon. Course director.

Course location Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance Education building room 10 Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre Kettegard Allé 30 Registration Please register before March 29th 2019 Seats to PhD students from other Danish universities will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and according to the applicable rules. Applications from other participants will be considered after the last day of enrolment. Note: All applicants are asked to submit invoice details in case of no-show, late cancellation or obligation to pay the course fee (typically non-PhD students). If you are a PhD student, your participation in the course must be in agreement with your principal supervisor.
