In this mini-course, we will discuss various techniques for the noninvasive characterization of brain structures during normal aging and detect potential changes in the presence of pathology, with a particular focus on those methods based on magnetic resonance imaging. We will start with the classical Region Of Interest (ROI) analysis, and then continue exploring more advanced techniques like Voxel-Based Morphometry (VBM) and Surface-Based Morphometry (SBM). These techniques are used to compare and perform statistics between different populations of subjects, typically patients versus healthy controls. During the hands-on session, we will test some of these techniques on real data from patients suffering from schizophrenia; the lab session will be given in MATLAB, and the instructor will provide the patients' data.
