Description	This module will provide an introduction into the fundamental physical principles that underlie various brain imaging techniques and how they can be used to study human behaviour and brain structure and function in mental health and wellness. This module will also provide insight into what causes mental health specific neurological and psychiatric disorders and will explore the theoretical and practical means for how translational neuroimaging research can be used to develop intervention strategies and improve long-term prognosis and treatments in mental health.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Evaluate the practical and theoretical implications of the various methodologies used in translational cognitive neuroscience research and how these can help guide clinical course and prognosis in mental health disorders. Appraise current neuroimaging evidence and identify how this research can be put into practice helping to build connections between researchers, policy makers, service providers and charitable organisations Use the translational cognitive neuroscience knowledge and transferable research skills acquired throughout the module to evaluate the biological and etiological causes of mental health disorders and develop future intervention and treatment approaches
