Machine Learning (CONP)

This course begins with the conceptual basics of machine learning and then moves on to some Python-based applications of popular supervised learning algorithms to neuroscience data. This is followed by a series of lectures that explore the history and applications of deep learning, ending with a presentation on the potential of deep learning for neuroscience applications/mis-applications.

 

Open Science Framework (OSF)

Center for Open Science

This course is intended to introduce researchers to the Open Science Framework (OSF). OSF is a free, open source web application built by the Center for Open Science, a non-profit dedicated to improving the alignment between scientific values and scientific practices. OSF is part collaboration tool, part version control software, and part data archive.

 

INCF Short Course: Introduction to Neuroinformatics

INCF

The emergence of data-intensive science creates a demand for neuroscience educators worldwide to deliver better neuroinformatics education and training in order to raise a generation of modern neuroscientists with FAIR capabilities, awareness of the value of standards and best practices, knowledge in dealing with big datasets, and the ability to integrate knowledge over multiple scales and methods.

 

Bayesian Statistics

Neuromatch Academy

Neuromatch Academy aims to introduce traditional and emerging tools of computational neuroscience to trainees.

 

Introduction to Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) for Python 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.

 

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.

 

Foundations of Data Science

Datalabcc

Data science relies on several important aspects of mathematics. In this course, you'll learn what forms of mathematics are most useful for data science, and see some worked examples of how math can solve important data science problems.

 

Decision Making

Neuromatch Academy

Neuromatch Academy aims to introduce traditional and emerging tools of computational neuroscience to trainees.

FAIR Approaches for Computational Neuroscience

INCF

As models in neuroscience have become increasingly complex, it has become more difficult to share all aspects of models and model analysis, hindering model accessibility and reproducibility. In this session, we will discuss existing resources for promoting FAIR data and models in computational neuroscience, their impact on the field, and remaining barriers.

 

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. 

 

 

INCF Assembly 2022 - Training Day 1

INCF

This course contains sessions from the first 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.

 

Reproducible Science (Including Git, Docker, and Binder)

Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics

This course consists of two workshops which focus on the need for reproducibility in science, particularly under the umbrella roadmap of FAIR scienctific principles. The tutorials also provide an introduction to some of the most commonly used open-source scientific tools, including Git, GitHub, Google Colab, Binder, Docker, and the programming languages Python and R.

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.

 

Module 1: Spikes

Mike X. Cohen

The goal of this module is to work with action potential data taken from a publicly available database. You will learn about spike counts, orientation tuning, and spatial maps. The MATLAB code introduces data types, for-loops and vectorizations, indexing, and data visualization.

 

Dynamical Neural Systems

ICTS

This course consists of several introductory lectures on different aspects of biochemical models. The lectures cover topics such as stability analysis of neural models, oscillations and bursting, and weakly coupled oscillators. You will learn about modeling various scales and properties of neural mechanisms, from firing-rate models of single neurons to pattern generation in visual system hallucinations. 

 

Applied Ethics in Machine Learning and Mental Health

Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics

This course tackles the issue of maintaining ethical research and healthcare practices in the age of increasingly powerful technological tools like machine learning and artificial intelligence. While there is great potential for innovation and improvement in the clinical space thanks to AI development, lecturers in this course advocate for a greater emphasis on human-centric care, calling for algorithm design which takes the full intersectionality of individuals into account.
