Course Material for COGNESTIC 2024

The Cognitive Neuroimaging Skills Training In Cambridge (COGNESTIC) is a 2-week course that provides researchers with training in state-of-the-art methods for neuroimaging analysis and related methods. You can find more information on the COGNESTIC webpage.

Below you will find documents, videos and web links that will be used for the course or can be used for preparation.

Software Installation Instructions

Access to much of the COGNESTIC-23 materials is available via Virtual Machine (VM). You will need at least 70GB of free space on your local hard drive, and at least 4GB of RAM. For instructions on how to install and set up the Cognestic23 VM see section ‘1 COGNESTIC Virtual Machine (full hands-on)’ for instructions. Data for the Structural MRI and Diffusion MRI are located inside the VM.

Full installation instructions can be found here. The installation can take some time (potentially more than an hour, depending on your download speed), so please reserve some time for this ahead of the event.
