Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
Students must acquire a solid understanding of the fundamentals of statistics and machine learning. It is crucial to gain the foundational knowledge necessary to avoid common pitfalls in machine learning applications.

Specifically, students must correctly understand typical issues such as overfitting and data leakage, and learn through the process of fMRI experimentation how these problems can arise and compromise research results. 
Requirements  
Grading Method Evaluation will be based on the student's research attitude and the depth of their understanding regarding statistics and machine learning. 
Practical Experience  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it
