Simulating Brain Microcircuit Activity and Signals in Mental Health

Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics

This course offers lectures on the origin and functional significance of certain electrophysiological signals in the brain, as well as a hands-on tutorial on how to simulate, statistically evaluate, and visualize such signals. Participants will learn the simulation of signals at different spatial scales, including single-cell (neuronal spiking) and global (EEG), and how these may serve as biomarkers in the evaluation of mental health data.

 

Introductory Concepts

Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics

This couse is the opening module for the University of Toronto's Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics' virtual learning series Solving Problems in Mental Health Using Multi-Scale Computational Neuroscience. Lessons in this course introduce participants to the study of brain disorders, starting from elemental units like genes and neurons, eventually building up to whole-brain modelling and global activity patterns.

 

Module 2: EEG

Mike X. Cohen

In this module, you will work with human EEG data recorded during a steady-state visual evoked potential study (SSVEP, aka flicker). You will learn about spectral analysis, alpha activity, and topographical mapping. The MATLAB code introduces functions, sorting, and correlation analysis.

 

Data Science and Neuroinformatics

INCF

Much like neuroinformatics, data science uses techniques from computational science to derive meaningful results from large complex datasets. In this session, we will explore the relationship between neuroinformatics and data science, by emphasizing a range of data science approaches and activities, ranging from the development and application of statistical methods, through the establishment of communities and platforms, and through the implementation of open-source software tools.

 

FAIR Approaches for Electrophysiology

INCF

The course provides an introduction to the growing field of electrophysiology standards, infrastructure, and initiatives. From data curation on open research infrastructures like EBRAINS, to overviews of national data analytics platforms like Australia's AEDAPT, the lessons in this course highlight already available resources for the global neuroinformatics commuity while also reinforcing the need for and importance of FAIR science principles in future research projects.
