R Programming Language

Edureka

This course includes two tutorials on R, a programming language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, etc.) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible.

 

Neuroimaging Connectomics

Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics

This course consists of one lesson and one tutorial, focusing on the neural connectivity measures derived from neuroimaging, specifically from methods like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Additional tools such as tractography and parcellation are discussed in the context of brain connectivity and mental health. The tutorial leads participants through the computation of brain connectomes from fMRI data.

Deep Learning: Graphs

NYU Center for Data Science

This module provides an introduction to the problem of speech recognition using neural models, emphasizing the CTC loss for training and inference when input and output sequences are of different lengths. It also covers beam search for use during inference, and how that procedure may be modeled at training time using a Graph Transformer Network.

 

Notebooks

Notebook systems are proving invaluable to skill acquisition, research documentation, publication, and reproducibility.  This series of presentations introduces the most popular platform for computational notebooks, Project Jupyter, as well as other resources like Binder and NeuroLibre.

Session 7: Practical Guide to Overcome the Reproducibility Crisis in Small Animal Neuroimaging: Workflows, Tools, and Repositories

INCF

The workshop will include interactive seminars given by selected experts in the field covering all aspects of (FAIR) small animal MRI data acquisition, analysis, and sharing. The seminars will be followed by hands-on training where participants will perform use case scenarios using software established by the organizers. This will include an introduction to the basics of using command line interfaces, Python installation, working with Docker/Singularity containers, Datalad/Git, and BIDS.

Session 6: Research Workflows for Collaborative Neuroscience

INCF

This course contains videos, lectures, and hands-on tutorials as part of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023 workshop on developing robust and reproducible research workflows to foster greater collaborative efforts in neuroscience.

 

NeuroTools Webinar Series

Neuroscience Information Framework

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.

 

The Future of Medical Data Sharing in Clinical Neurosciences

EBRAINS

This workshop hosted by HBP, EBRAINS, and the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) aimed to identify and openly discuss all issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe: from ethics to data safety and privacy including those specific to data federation such as the development and validation of federated algorithms.

Session 9: Event Annotation in Neuroimaging Using HED: From Experiment to Analysis

INCF

This workshop delves into the need for, structure of, tools for, and use of hierarchical event descriptor (HED) annotation to prepare neuroimaging time series data for storing, sharing, and advanced analysis. HED are a controlled vocabulary of terms describing events in a machine-actionable form so that algorithms can use the information without manual recoding.

 

INCF Assembly 2022 - Training Day 2

INCF

This course contains sessions from the second day of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2022.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Fundamental Methods for Single-Cell Transcriptome Analysis

Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics

This course, consisting of one lecture and two workshops, is presented by the Computational Genomics Lab at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and University of Toronto. The lecture deals with single-cell and bulk level transciptomics, while the two hands-on workshops introduce users to transcriptomic data types (e.g., RNAseq) and how to perform analyses in specific use cases (e.g., cellular changes in major depression). 

 

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.

Preprocessing Data in EEGLAB

Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience

EEGLAB is an interactive MATLAB toolbox for processing continuous and event-related EEG, MEG, and other electrophysiological data incorporating independent component analysis (ICA), time/frequency analysis, artifact rejection, event-related statistics, and several useful modes of visualization of the averaged and single-trial data.

 

Module 5: Calcium Imaging

Mike X. Cohen

In this course, you will learn about working with calcium-imaging data, including image processing to remove background "blur", identifying cells based on threshold spatial contiguity, time-series filtering, and principal component analysis (PCA). The MATLAB code shows data animations, capabilities of the image processing toolbox, and PCA.

 

INCF Assembly 2022 - Training Day 2

INCF

This course contains sessions from the second day of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2022.

 

Jupyter Notebooks

EuroPython Conference

In this short course, you will learn about Jupyter Notebooks, an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and narrative text. Uses include: data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, data visualization, machine learning, and much more.

 

Introduction to Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) for MATLAB Users I

NWB Core Development Team

The Neurodata Without Borders: Neurophysiology project (NWB, https://www.nwb.org/) is an effort to standardize the description and storage of neurophysiology data and metadata. NWB enables data sharing and reuse and reduces the energy-barrier to applying data analytics both within and across labs. Several laboratories, including the Allen Institute for Brain Science, have wholeheartedly adopted NWB.

 

Publishing

This course is currently under construction but will coming soon.  It will give an overview of the world of scientific publishing, spanning from traditional formats, to open to access, to open, interactive, reproducible, and 'living' publications with modifiable and executable code.
