Presented by the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF), this series consists of several lectures characterizing cutting-edge, open-source software platforms and computational tools for neuroscientists. This course offers detailed descriptions of various neuroinformatic resources such as cloud-computing services, web-based annotation tools, genome browsers, and platforms for designing and building biophysically detailed models of neurons and neural ensembles. Given the myriad of computational techniques, ontologies, and softwares which inhabit the modern neuroinformatic ecosystem, this course aims to highlight those which are free, accessible, and effective for the greatest number of neuroscientists worldwide.
