This course consists of several lightning talks from the second day of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023. Covering a wide range of topics, these brief talks provide snapshots of various neuroinformatic efforts such as brain-computer interface standards, dealing with multimodal animal MRI datasets, distributed data management, and several more.
This module introduces computational neuroscience by simulating neurons according to the AdEx model. You will learn about generative modeling, dynamical systems, and F-I curves. The MATLAB code introduces live scripts and functions.
This course contains sessions from the second day of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2022.
This course provides introductory and refresher lessons for a range of concepts and methods useful in the field of neuroscience and neuroinformatics.
This course outlines how versioning code, data, and analysis software is crucially important to rigorous and open neuroscience workflows that maximize reproducibility and minimize errors.Version control systems, code-capable notebooks, and virtualization containers such as Git, Jupyter, and Docker, respectively, have become essential tools in data science.
This course contains sessions from the first day of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2022.
This course consists of introductory lectures on different aspects of biochemical models. By following this course, you will learn about the various forms plasticity can take at different levels in the brain, how to model chemical computation in the brain, as well as computationally demanding studies of synaptic plasticity on the molecular level.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sessions from the INCF Neuroinformatics Assembly 2022 day 2.
This course corresponds to the second session of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023. This series of talks continues a discussion of FAIR principles from the first session, with a greater emphasis on brain data (humans and animals) atlases for data analysis and integation.
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.
As technological improvements continue to facilitate innovations in the mental health space, researchers and clinicians are faced with novel opportunities and challenges regarding study design, diagnoses, treatments, and follow-up care. This course includes a lecture outlining these new developments, as well as a workshop which introduces users to Synapse, an open-source platform for collaborative data analysis.
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.
This module introduces computational neuroscience by simulating neurons according to the AdEx model. You will learn about generative modeling, dynamical systems, and F-I curves. The MATLAB code introduces live scripts and functions.
This course consists of three lessons, each corresponding to a lightning talk given at the first day of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023. By following along these brief talks, you will hear about topics such as open source tools for computer vision, tools for the integration of various MRI dataset formats, as well as international data governance.
