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.
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 consists of a three-part session from the second day of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023. The lessons describe various on-going efforts within the fields of neuroinformatics and clinical neuroscience to adjust to the increasingly vast volumes of brain data being collected and stored.
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.
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 workshop provides an opportunity to explore the advanced tools and techniques for data sharing, analysis, visualization, and simulation.
Neuromatch Academy aims to introduce traditional and emerging tools of computational neuroscience to trainees.
Given the extreme interconnectedness of the human brain, studying any one cerebral area in isolation may lead to spurious results or incomplete, if not problematic, interpretations. This course introduces participants to the various spatial scales of neuroscience and the fundamentals of whole-brain modelling, used to generate a more thorough picture of brain activity.
Get up to speed about the fundamental principles of full brain network modeling using the open-source neuroinformatics platform The Virtual Brain (TVB). This simulation environment enables the biologically realistic modeling of whole-brain network dynamics across different brain scales, using personalized structural connectome-based approach.
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 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.
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.
This module covers fMRI data, including creating and interpreting flatmaps, exploring variability and average responses, and visual eccenticity. You will learn about processing BOLD signals, trial-averaging, and t-tests. The MATLAB code introduces data animations, multicolor visualizations, and linear indexing.

The dimensionality and size of datasets in many fields of neuroscience research require massively parallel computing power. Fortunately, the maturity and accessibility of virtualization technologies has made it feasible to run the same analysis environments on platforms ranging from single laptop computers up to high-performance computing networks.

This course explores ethical and social issues that have arisen, and continue to arise, from the rapid research development in neuroscience, medicine, and ICT. Lectures focus on key ethical issues contained in the HBP – such as the ethics of robotics, dual use, ICT ethical issues, big data and individual privacy, and the use of animals in research.
This course includes both lectures and tutorials around the management and analysis of genomic data in clinical research and care. Participants are led through the basics of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), genotypes, and polygenic risk scores, as well as novel concepts and tools for more sophisticated consideration of population stratification in GWAS.
