IS&T RCS Tutorial - Machine Learning in Neuroimaging with CoSMoMVPA (Hands‐on)

This tutorial will cover the basics of running a machine learning analysis — commonly called “multivariate pattern analysis” or MVPA for short — on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data using the MATLAB software package CoSMoMVPA. The tutorial will go over some of the theory behind MVPA before diving into the hands-on tutorial where we will replicate the results of a highly cited paper on multivariate representations of faces and objects in the ventral temporal cortex (Haxby et al. 2001).
