This lesson aims to define computational neuroscience in general terms, while providing specific examples of highly successful computational neuroscience projects.
Computer arithmetic is necessarily performed using approximations to the real numbers they are intended to represent, and consequently it is possible for the discrepancies between the actual solution and the approximate solutions to diverge, i.e. to become increasingly different. This lecture focuses on how this happens and techniques for reducing the effects of these phenomena and discuss systems which are chaotic.
This lecture will addresses what it means for a problem to have a computable solution, methods for combining computability results to analyse more complicated problems, and finally look in detail at one particular problem which has no computable solution: the halting problem.
This brief video provides an introduction to brainlife.io, a free cloud computing platform for neuroimaging data analysis.
This lecture focuses on computational complexity, a concept which lies at the heart of computer science thinking. In short, it is a way to quickly gauge an approximation to the computational resource required to perform a task.
This video will document the process of uploading data into a brainlife project using ezBIDS.
This lesson visually documents the process of uploading data to brainlife via the command line interface (CLI).
This video will document the process of visualizing the provenance of each step performed to generate a data object on brainlife.
This video will document the process of downloading and running the "reproduce.sh" script, which will automatically run all of the steps to generate a data object locally on a user's machine.
This brief video walks you through the steps necessary when creating a project on brainlife.io.
This brief video rus through how to make an accout on brainlife.io.
This short video shows how data in a brainlife.io publication can be opened from a DOI inside a published article. The video provides an example of how the DOI deposited on the journal can be opened with a web browser to redirect to the associated data publication on brainlife.io.
This video will document the process of importing a dataset archived on OpenNeuro from the Datasets tab into a brainlife project.
This lecture gives an introduction to simulation, models, and the neural simulation tool NEST.
This lecture covers an Introduction to neuron anatomy and signaling, and different types of models, including the Hodgkin-Huxley model.
This lecture focuses on how the immune system can target and attack the nervous system to produce autoimmune responses that may result in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis, and lupus cerebritis manifested by motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments. Despite the fact that the brain is an immune-privileged site, autoreactive lymphocytes producing proinflammatory cytokines can cause active brain inflammation, leading to myelin and axonal loss.
This lecture provides an overview of depression (epidemiology and course of the disorder), clinical presentation, somatic co-morbidity, and treatment options.
This lecture covers an Introduction to neuron anatomy and signaling, and different types of models, including the Hodgkin-Huxley model.
This lesson discuses forms of neural plasticity on many levels, including short-term, long-term, metaplasticity, and structural plasticity. During the lesson you will also be presented with examples related to the modelling of biochemical networks.
This lesson provides an introduction to modelling of chemical computation in the brain.
