Introduction to Functional MRI in Cognitive Neuroscience		 Tue 10-12
Hybrid; SS 560A		 This course is for those with very limited or no knowledge of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We will cover some of the basic principles of this methodology including MR physics, experimental design, data pre-processing, statistical analysis, and results reporting. There will be opportunities to design your own experiment, analyse sample data, and consider some of the strengths, weaknesses and challenges of fMRI. The aim is that by the end of this course, you will have a good foundational understanding of fMRI as used in cognitive neuroscience, on which you can then build your own work and receive more detailed training from the research group in which you are based.

Students registered in other graduate programs at the University of Toronto may enrol in Psychology graduate courses if there is room in course and if their home unit approves their enrolment. Students outside Psychology may enrol in our content courses, PSY1200, PSY1210 and all PSY5000-level courses, but may not enrol in our required courses, PSY2001, PSY2002, and PSY3001. Please note that we do not require SGS' Add/Drop Course form. If your home unit requires SGS' Add/Drop Course form, please have the student and instructor sections completed before sending it to the Graduate Administrator for approval and signature.

Please follow these instructions for enrolment in both Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 courses:

  1. Students should obtain permission to enrol from the instructor of the course.
  2. Students should send a copy of this email approval to the Graduate Administrator.
  3. Students should add the course on ACORN as of the first day of classes (Tuesday, September 2, 2025, or Monday, January 5, 2026). If students add the course before this date, they will be removed from the course.
  4. Students should have their home unit approve their enrolment in the course (if the enrolment status is 'REQ' on ACORN, the home unit needs to approve the enrolment).
  5. After the home unit approves the enrolment, the enrolment status will be 'INT' on ACORN. Psychology will then approve the enrolment in the course.

Prospective auditors are advised to first obtain the approval of the instructor. If permission is granted, auditors are not allowed to submit any assignments for grading, however, auditors are expected to contribute to course discussions. In some cases, there may not be enough space in the classroom to accommodate auditors. Where classroom size is an issue, unfortunately instructors cannot take auditors. We do not provide any documentation of attendance for auditors.
