About event
The course is focused mainly on master‘s and doctor‘s degree students in the field of human brain mapping regardless of primary background. However, any basic knowledge about brain mapping will be convenient. Attendants will obtain theoretical and practical skills in several neuroimaging techniques.
Registration and a fee are required to participate in the course. The participation fee is included lunches and coffee breaks during the entire duration of the course. This event is free of charge for PhD students in the Neuroscience field at Masaryk University.
