| Leerdoelen | At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. Explain the basic principles (technical/physical) underlying the techniques and can provide examples of their scientific and/or medical applications. 2. Deduce in what cases the techniques presented in the course unit are suitable to answer relevant scientific or medical questions. 3. Provide an overview of the kind and severity of possible health risks involved in the techniques. 4. Summarize and argue techniques used in a scientific article and present this to an audience. 5. Analyse data and clearly describe the outcome of the tracking behavior practical in a small report |

| Omschrijving | The major incentive of the course is getting acquainted with a broad range of modern imaging techniques which are being used in the neurosciences. Students are trained to be able to explain the principles underlying the technique, its use and its limitations. For specific research questions, students learn to be able to decide which technique is most suitable. Students are also trained to present a relevant scientific article. They prepare a PowerPoint presentation and present it to the other master students participating in the course and receive feedback about their performance. Techniques involved are among others PET, (f)MRI, electron microscopy, EEG, confocal scanning microscopy and tracking behavior. Within the course two practicals are provided to visualize data and to track behavior, for the latter a report needs to be written. In addition two demonstrations are given on two specific imaging techniques. The course unit is largely overlapping with the bachelor course Imaging Techniques, which is given in English. Master students who attended the bachelor course unit cannot participate in the Master course unit Advanced Imaging Techniques. |

(The practical tracking behaviour is mandatory. A report has to be written about this practical that counts for 10% of the final grade. Consequence is to redo the practical.) |

(The lecturer grades the answers to the questions according to a list of criteria which results in a grade for the exam. The final grade for the course is calculated for 70% (2x35%) by the grade for the exams, 20% by the presentation, and 10% by the report.) |
