This lecture covers infrared LED oblique illumination for studying neuronal circuits in in vitro block-preparations of the spinal cord and brain stem.

This lecture covers the application of diffusion MRI for clinical and preclinical studies.

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 lesson contains both a lecture and a tutorial component. The lecture (0:00-20:03 of YouTube video) discusses both the need for intersectional approaches in healthcare as well as the impact of neglecting intersectionality in patient populations. The lecture is followed by a practical tutorial in both Python and R on how to assess intersectional bias in datasets. Links to relevant code and data are found below. 

This lesson gives a description of the BrainHealth Databank, a repository of many types of health-related data, whose aim is to accelerate research, improve care, and to help better understand and diagnose mental illness, as well as develop new treatments and prevention strategies. 

This lesson corresponds to slides 46-78 of the PDF below. 

This lesson describes not only the need for precision medicine, but also the current state of the methods, pharmacogenetic approaches, utility and implementation of such care today.

This lesson corresponds to slides 1-50 of the PowerPoint below. 

This lecture provides an introduction to Plato’s concept of rationality and Aristotle’s concept of empiricism, and the enduring discussion between rationalism and empiricism to this day.

This lecture goes into further detail about the hard problem of developing a scientific discipline for subjective consciousness.

Maximize Your Research With Cloud Workspaces is a talk aimed at researchers who are looking for innovative ways to set up and execute their life science data analyses in a collaborative, extensible, open-source cloud environment. This panel discussion is brought to you by MetaCell and scientists from leading universities who share their experiences of advanced analysis and collaborative learning through the Cloud.

In this lesson, you will learn about data management within the Open Data Commons (ODC) framework, and in particular, how Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) data is stored, shared, and published. You will also hear about Frictionless Data, an open-source toolkit aimed at simplifying the data experience. 

This talk describes the NIH-funded SPARC Data Structure, and how this project navigates ontology development while keeping in mind the FAIR science principles. 

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

This video gives a brief introduction to the second session of talks from INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023. 

This talk describes the relevance and power of using brain atlases as part of one's data integration pipeline. 

This brief video provides an introduction to the third session of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023, focusing on how to streamling cross-platform data integration in a neuroscientific context. 

This talk describes the challenges to sustained operability and success of consortia, why many of these groups flounder after just a few years, and what steps can be taken to mitigate such outcomes. 

In this talk, you will learn about the standardization schema for data formats among two of the US BRAIN Initiative networks: the Cell Census Network (BICCN) and the Cell Atlas Network (BICAN). 

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. 

This talk discusses the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN), taking a look specifically at how this network approaches the design, development, and maintenance of specimen and sequencing library portals. 

This final lesson of the course consists of the panel discussion for Streamlining Cross-Platform Data Integration session during the first day of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023.
