  14. How to prepare your presentation Very important!!!: Read thePresenter’s guide (http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/mfd/guide.pdf) • Remember your audience are not experts… • The aim of the sessions is to • introduce the concepts and explain why they are important to imaging analysis • familiarise people with the basic theory and standard methods • Time: 45min. + 15min. questions – 2 presenters per session • Don’t just copy last year’s slides!!!... • Start preparing your talk with your co-presenter at least 2 weeks in advance • Talk to the allocated expert 1 week in advance Introduction to MfD 2010

  15. What if I can’t make my presentation? • If you want to change / swap your topic, try and find someone else to swap with…. • …if you still can’t find a solution, then get in touch with Chris, Maria or Suz as soon as possible (at least 3 weeks before the talk). Introduction to MfD 2010

  16. Where to find help MfD Home Resources http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/mfd/page2/page2.html • Key papers • Previous years’ slides • Human Brain Function Textbook (online) • SPM course slides • Cambridge CBU homepage (Rik Henson’s slides) • Methods Group Experts • Monday Methods Meetings (4th floor FIL, 12.30) • SPM email List Introduction to MfD 2010

  20. Overview for Dummies Introduction to MD 2010

  21. Outline • SPM & your (fMRI) data • Preprocessing • Analysis • Connectivity • Getting started with an experiment • Acronyms Introduction to MfD 2010

  22. Pre-processing

  23. Preprocessing Possibilities… • These steps basically get your imaging data to a state where you can start your analysis • Realignment & Unwarping • Segmentation and Normalisation • Smoothing

  24. Model specification and estimation

  25. Analysis • Once you have carried out your pre-processing you can specify your design and data • The design matrix is simply a mathematical description of your experiment E.g. ‘visual stimulus on = 1’ ‘visual stimulus off = 0’ Design matrix General Linear Model

  26. Inference

  27. Contrasts & inference • Contrasts allow us to test hypotheses about our data, using t & f tests • 1st level analysis: activation over scans (within subject) • 2nd level analysis: activation over subjects • Multiple Comparison Problem – Random Field Theory SPM

  28. Write up and publish…

  29. Brain connectivity • Functional integration – how one region influences another…subdivided into: • Functional connectivity: correlations among brain systems (e.g. principal component analysis) • Effective connectivity: the influence of one region over another (e.g. psycho-physiological interactions, or Dynamic Causal Modelling) Causal interactions between brain areas, statistical dependencies

  30. Statistical Parametric Mapping • MfD 2010 will focus on the use of SPM8 • SPM software has been designed for the analysis of brain imaging data in fMRI, PET, SPECT, EEG & MEG • It runs in Matlab… just type SPM at the prompt and all will be revealed. • There are sample data sets available on the SPM website to play with

  31. Getting started – Cogent • http://www.vislab.ucl.ac.uk/Cogent/ • present scanner-synchronized visual stimuli, auditory stimuli, mechanical stimuli, taste and smell stimuli • monitor key presses • physiological recordings • logging stimulus & scan onset times • Try and get hold of one to modify rather than starting from scratch! People are more than happy to share scripts around. • If you need help, talk to Eric Featherstone. Introduction to MfD 2010

  32. Getting started - Setting up your experiment If you need… • special equipment • Peter Aston • Physics team • special scanning sequences • Physics team • They are very happy to help, but contact them in time! Introduction to MfD 2010

  33. Getting started - scanning decisions to be made • What are your scanning parameters: • how many conditions/sessions/blocks • Interstimulus interval • Scanning sequence • Scanning angle • How much brain coverage do you need • how many slices • what slice thickness • what TR • Use the physics wiki page: http://cast.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/pmwiki/pmwiki.php Introduction to MfD 2010

  34. Summary • Get you script ready & working with the scanner • Make sure it logs all the data you need for your analysis • Back up your data from the stimulus PC! You can transfer it via the network after each scanning session… • Get a scanning buddy if it’s your first scanning study • Provide the radiographers with tea, biscuits, chocolate etc. Introduction to MfD 2010

  35. Use the project presentations! They are there to help you design a project that will get you data that can actually be analyzed in a meaningful way Introduction to MfD 2010

  36. Acronyms • DCM – dynamic causal model • DTI – diffusion tensor imaging • FDR – false discovery rate • FFX – fixed effects analysis • FIR – finite impulse response • FWE – family wise error • FWHM – full width half maximum • GLM – general linear model • GRF – gaussian random field theory • HRF – haemodynamic response function • ICA – independent component analysis • ISI – interstimulus interval • PCA – principal component analysis • PEB – parametric empirical bayes • PPI – psychophysiological interaction • PPM – posterior probability map • ReML – restricted maximum likelihood • RFT– random field theory • RFX – random effects analysis • ROI – region of interest • SOA – stimulus onset asynchrony • SPM – statistical parametric mapping • VBM – voxel-based morphometry
