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 module is intended to provide a foundation in energy-based models. It is a part of the Deep Learning Course at NYU's Center for Data Science. Prerequisites for this module include: Introduction to Deep Learning (module 1 of the course), Parameter Sharing (module 2 of the course),

This course covers the concepts of recurrent and convolutional nets (theory and practice), natural signals properties and the convolution, and recurrent neural networks (vanilla and gated, LSTM).

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.

Neurohackademy is a two-week hands-on summer institute in neuroimaging and data science held at the University of Washington eScience Institute. Participants learn about technologies used to analyze human neuroscience data, and to make analyses and results shareable and reproducible.

In this course, you will learn how computational neuroscientists use mathematical models and computer simulations to study different plasticity phenomena in the brain. During the course, you will program your own neuron model, a so-called leaky-integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron model, and simulate it with a computer. You will also learn how to add various neuronal properties and plasticity mechanisms to the model and study how they operate.

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

This lecture series is presented by NeuroTechEU, an alliance between eight European universities with the goal to build a trans-European network of excellence in brain research and technologies. By following along with this series, participants will learn about the history of cognitive science and the development of the field in a sociocultural context, as well as its trajectory into the future with the advent of artificial intelligence and neural network development.

There is a broad consensus among researchers, publishers, and funding bodies that open sharing of data is needed to address major reproducibility and transparency challenges that currently exist in all scientific disciplines. In addition to potentially increasing the utilization of shared data through re-analysis and integration with other data, data sharing is beneficial for individual researchers through data citation and increased exposure of research.

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. 

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.

This course provides several visual walkthroughs documenting how to execute various processes in brainlife.io, an open-source, free and secure reproducible neuroscience analysis platform. The platform allows to analyze Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) data. Data can either be uploaded from local computers or imported from public archives such as OpenNeuro.org.

“Computational Thinking“ refers to a mindset or set of tools used by computational or ICT specialists to describe their work. This course is intended for people outside of the ICT field to allow students to understand the way that computer specialists analyse problems and to introduce students to the basic terminology of the field.

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.

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.

This course corresponds to the first session of talks given at INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023. The sessions consists of several lectures, focusing on using the principles of FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability) to inform future directions in neuroscience and neuroinformatics. In particular, these talks deal with the development of knowledge graphs and ontologies. 

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.
