<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>This course will
give a broad overview of multivariate data mining with independent component
analysis (ICA) in neuroscience, in particular applications for hemodynamic
(fMRI) and electrophysiologic (EEG/ERP) imaging data. Lectures will cover blind
source separation theory, interpretation and functional significance of
IC’s from hemodynamics and electrophysiology, connectivity analysis,
single trial analysis of event related EEG and fMRI data, multimodal integration
of structural and functional MRI, EEG and fMRI, as well as genetic (SNP)
and imaging data. Analyses with the </span><span lang=EN style='font-size:12.0pt;
