This is a repository detailing a work experience placement course where students will work with the [HAVEN](https://research.reading.ac.uk/cinn/research-studies/haven/) dataset acquired by the University of Reading.
As part of the placement, students will:
- Gain a basic understanding of neuroimaging (MRI, fMRI) and its uses for scientific research
- Acquire practical experience in data analysis and plotting using R and ChatGPT
- Generate their own hypotheses and these these hypotheses using simple statistic tests (t-test, correlations)
- Upload their findings onto GitHub and publish as a webpage using GitHub Actions
Subsequently, the following are required:
- R/Rstudio (but also available online)
- ChatGPT account (free)
- GitHub account (also free)
The repository itself contains the following structure:
