I was a student at the Neuromatch Academy for the Computational Neuroscience summer program. during this program we did tutorials and also a group project on the HCB 2021 fmri dataset. For successfuly compeleting the course, I recieved a certificate.
Problem definition
We worked on the data from the gambling task of the HCB dataset.
Question: How does the neural response to emotion cues correlate with the neural responses to reward and punishment? Hypothesis: Brain areas more active during emotion cognition would also show higher activity on receiving reward and/or punishment feedback.
What we did
We calculated individual-level RDMs and performed RSA analysis to compare the brain activation patterns during win and loss trials. for the group-level analysis, we used the Random Forest classifier.
