Fall, every other year. Professors Friedman and Ullman NSCI-217. Principles of experimental design, statistical analysis and interpretation are reviewed briefly at the beginning of the course.

The course consists of twelve weeks of lectures and four weeks of labs. It will also serve to introduce students to imaging laboratories at Georgetown University. Participating students will be asked to produce a final paper to be completed by the end of the semester. This paper will require some background reading, synthesis of the theoretical issues discussed during the lectures and practical issues learned throughout the hands-on sessions. Professor Eden .
