Research on Brain Imaging System /Exercise 1

Course title

6M193100

Course content

Brain function measurement technology works as a system combining engineering that detects electrical signals and blood flow signals associated with neural activity and psychological methods that quantify the cognitive functions such as attention and awareness. This brain function measurement is a powerful tool to approach the human mind mechanism, and is expected to contribute not only to neuroscience, but to a wide range of fields such as cognitive science, education, and the economy. In this course, we comprehensively investigate and understand knowledge in a wide range of fields from measurement and analysis techniques of biosignals to cerebral physiology and psychology.
