Modules that I have assisted/taught
University of Birmingham (2023-25)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Cognitive Neuroscience (MSc module) (Module convenor: Dr Magdalena Chechlacz)
Served as a teaching assistant for practical workshops (25 students per class) covering:
- Basics of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data (file types, loading, reading and viewing files)
- Introduction to Programming (Linux, bash)
- Using FSL to perform neuroimaging analyses (diffusion MRI, resting-state and task-based fMRI)
Together with Magdalena Chechlacz and Dr Andrew Quinn, I created and actively maintain the MRI-on-BEAR website, which hosts the MRICN practical workshops. Within the module, I also developed - and teach - the final weeks’ workshop on functional connectivity.
University of Reading (2022-23)
Introduction to Neuroscience Methods (BSc module) (Module convenor: Professor Anastasia Christakou)
Served as a teaching assistant with Dr Rich Harrison for group tutorials (20 students per class) covering:
- Introduction to Neuroimaging (principles of MRI/fMRI, TMS, EEG)
- Constructing Research Hypotheses and Experimental Design
- Neuroethics
- Practical tour and demonstration of CINN laboratories (MRI, EEG, TMS)
Educational Resources & Open Source Materials
I am strongly passionate about open-source education and oportunities. To this end, I have contributed to several initiatives both with academic institutions, and through my own volition. This includes:
- BayesCog, a freely available online course in Bayesian Cognitive modeling, created with Lei Zhang.
- MRI on BEAR, the course website for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Cognitive Neuroscience (MRICN) MSc module at the University of Birmingham. Created with Magda Chechlacz, Andrew Quinn and James Carpenter.
- Neuro Resources, a collection of neuroscience resources and learning materials for cognitive neuroscientists.
