Session 3: Streamlining Cross-Platform Data Integration

INCF

This course corresponds to the third session of talks given at INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023. In this session, the talks revolve around the idea of cross-platform data integration, discussing processes and solutions for rapidly developing an integrated workflow across independent systems for the US BRAIN Initiative Cell Census. 

 

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. 

 

International Neuroethics Society Webinar Series

International Neuroethics Society

This course consists of a series of webinars organized by the International Neuroethics Society on various neuroethics topics. 

 

Conceptual Background & Refreshers

This course provides introductory and refresher lessons for a range of concepts and methods useful in the field of neuroscience and neuroinformatics. 

 

The Virtual Brain Node #6 Workshop

The Virtual Brain

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.

 

The International Brain Initiative (IBI)

INCF

The International Brain Initiative (IBI) is a consortium of the world’s major large-scale brain initiatives and other organizations with a vested interest in catalyzing and advancing neuroscience research through international collaboration and knowledge sharing. This session will introduce the IBI and the current efforts of the Data Standards and Sharing Working Group with a view to gain input from a wider neuroscience and neuroinformatics community. 

 

Cognitive Science and Psychology: Mind, Brain, and Behavior

NeurotechEU

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.

Session 2: FAIR Sharing, Integration, & Analysis of Neuroscience Data

INCF

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. 

 

How to Use Allen Institute for Brain Science Resources

Allen Institute for Brain Science

This course features tutorials on how to use Allen atlases and digital brain atlasing tools, including operational and user features of the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas, as well as the Allen Institute's 3D viewing tool, Brain Explorer®.

 

Ethics and Governance

Ethical conduct of science, good governance of data, and accelerated translation to the clinic are key to high-calibre open neuroscience.  Everyday practitioners of science must be sensitized to a range of ethical considerations in their research, some having especially to do with open data-sharing. The lessons included in this course introduce a number of these topics and end with concrete guidance for participant consent and de-identification of data.

 

Bayesian Models of Learning and Integration of Neuroimaging Data

Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics

Bayesian inference (using prior knowledge to generate more accurate predictions about future events or outcomes) has become increasingly applied to the fields of neuroscience and neuroinformatics. In this course, participants are taught how Bayesian statistics may be used to build cognitive models of processes like learning or perception. This course also offers theoretical and practical instruction on dynamic causal modeling as applied to fMRI and EEG data.

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

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.
