      The goal Applying modern methods of acquisition, processing and analysis of brain signals in order to study the structure, function and connection of the brain. Improving existing methods.
      The outcome Students will acquire a broad knowledge and practical experience of how modern neuroimaging techniques and their application improve understanding of brain functions and disorders. They will be able to choose the appropriate modality for acquisition and participate in a multidisciplinary team that design a research experiment in the field of neuroscience.
