This course will describe some fundamentals of functional MRI, from physiology to acquisition and analysis. It will cover the measurement and analysis of spontaneous fluctuations in brain activity using resting-state BOLD fMRI, the biophysical origins of the fMRI signal and modelling, and how modelling and advanced acquisition are combined to extract more quantitative physiological measures, including cerebral oxygen metabolism.
