You will learn about neuroimaging and other neuroscience techniques in a module that combines a basic-science perspective with a number of clinical case-study perspectives. You will examine how theories of cognitive neuroscience can be informed by evidence from converging neuropsychological and neuroimaging findings and explore how they are applied in healthcare settings.</p> <p>This unit will guide you through methodological, experimental, practical and ethical issues encountered in cutting-edge neuropsychological and clinical neuroscience research.
