This lesson describes the principles underlying functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), tractography, and parcellation. These tools and concepts are explained in a broader context of neural connectivity and mental health. 

This tutorial introduces pipelines and methods to compute brain connectomes from fMRI data. With corresponding code and repositories, participants can follow along and learn how to programmatically preprocess, curate, and analyze functional and structural brain data to produce connectivity matrices. 

This lesson introduces the practical exercises which accompany the previous lessons on animal and human connectomes in the brain and nervous system. 

This lecture and tutorial focuses on measuring human functional brain networks, as well as how to account for inherent variability within those networks. 

This lecture presents an overview of functional brain parcellations, as well as a set of tutorials on bootstrap agregation of stable clusters (BASC) for fMRI brain parcellation.

This lecture covers the NIDM data format within BIDS to make your datasets more searchable, and how to optimize your dataset searches.

This lesson continues with the second workshop on reproducible science, focusing on additional open source tools for researchers and data scientists, such as the R programming language for data science, as well as associated tools like RStudio and R Markdown. Additionally, users are introduced to Python and iPython notebooks, Google Colab, and are given hands-on tutorials on how to create a Binder environment, as well as various containers in Docker and Singularity.

This talk goes over Neurobagel, an open-source platform developed for improved dataset sharing and searching. 

In this lesson, you will learn about the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) and how this project adopts a federated approach to data sharing. 

In this second part of the lecture Data Science and Reproducibility, you will learn how to apply the awareness of the intersection between neuroscience and data science (discussed in part one) to an understanding of the current reproducibility crisis in biomedical science and neuroscience. 

This lecture covers the benefits and difficulties involved when re-using open datasets, and how metadata is important to the process.

This lesson provides a quick tour of some data repositories and how to download and manipulate data from them.

In this lesson, attendees will learn about the data structure standards, specifically the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), an INCF-endorsed standard for organizing, annotating, and describing data collected during neuroimaging experiments.
