This lesson explores how researchers try to understand neural networks, particularly in the case of observing neural activity. 

In this lesson you will learn about the motivation behind manipulating neural activity, and what forms that may take in various experimental designs. 

This video briefly goes over the exercises accompanying Week 6 of the Neuroscience for Machine Learners (Neuro4ML) course, Understanding Neural Networks.

In this lesson, you will hear about some of the open issues in the field of neuroscience, as well as a discussion about whether neuroscience works, and how can we know?

Explore how to setup an epileptic seizure simulation with the TVB graphical user interface. This lesson will show you how to program the epileptor model in the brain network to simulate a epileptic seizure originating in the hippocampus. It will also show how to upload and view mouse connectivity data, as well as give a short introduction to the python script interface of TVB.

This tutorial covers the fundamentals of collaborating with Git and GitHub.

This lesson provides an overview of Jupyter notebooks, Jupyter lab, and Binder, as well as their applications within the field of neuroimaging, particularly when it comes to the writing phase of your research. 

This lesson gives an introduction to the central concepts of machine learning, and how they can be applied in Python using the scikit-learn package. 

This lecture introduces you to the basics of the Amazon Web Services public cloud. It covers the fundamentals of cloud computing and goes through both the motivations and processes involved in moving your research computing to the cloud.

This lesson provides a brief introduction to the Computational Modeling of Neuronal Plasticity.

In this lesson, you will be introducted to a type of neuronal model known as the leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) model.

This lesson goes over various potential inputs to neuronal synapses, loci of neural communication.

This lesson describes the how and why behind implementing integration time steps as part of a neuronal model.

In this lesson, you will learn about neural spike trains which can be characterized as having a Poisson distribution.

This lesson covers spike-rate adaptation, the process by which a neuron's firing pattern decays to a low, steady-state frequency during the sustained encoding of a stimulus.

This lesson provides a brief explanation of how to implement a neuron's refractory period in a computational model.

In this lesson, you will learn a computational description of the process which tunes neuronal connectivity strength, spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP).

This lesson reviews theoretical and mathematical descriptions of correlated spike trains.

This lesson investigates the effect of correlated spike trains on spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP).

This lesson goes over synaptic normalisation, the homeostatic process by which groups of weighted inputs scale up or down their biases.
