Introduction of the Foundations of Machine Learning in Python course - Day 01.

High-Performance Computing and Analytics Lab, University of Bonn

This lesson gives a brief introduction to the course Neuroscience for Machine Learners (Neuro4ML). 

This lesson covers the history of neuroscience and machine learning, and the story of how these two seemingly disparate fields are increasingly merging. 

In this lesson, you will learn about the current challenges facing the integration of machine learning and neuroscience. 

This lesson provides an overview of self-supervision as it relates to neural data tasks and the Mine Your Own vieW (MYOW) approach.

As a part of NeuroHackademy 2020, Elizabeth DuPre gives a lecture on "Nilearn", a python package that provides flexible statistical and machine-learning tools for brain volumes by leveraging the scikit-learn Python toolbox for multivariate statistics.  This includes predictive modelling, classification, decoding, and connectivity analysis.

This lesson provides a conceptual overview of the rudiments of machine learning, including its bases in traditional statistics and the types of questions it might be applied to. The lesson was presented in the context of the BrainHack School 2020.

This lesson provides a hands-on, Jupyter-notebook-based tutorial to apply machine learning in Python to brain-imaging data.

This lesson presents advanced machine learning algorithms for neuroimaging, while addressing some real-world considerations related to data size and type.

This lesson from freeCodeCamp introduces Scikit-learn, the most widely used machine learning Python library.

In this lecture, attendees will learn about the opportunities and challenges associated with Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), which, when trained with machine learning techniques on cognitive tasks, have become a widely accepted tool for neuroscientists.

The state of the field regarding the diagnosis and treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) is discussed. Current challenges and opportunities facing the research and clinical communities are outlined, including appropriate quantitative and qualitative analyses of the heterogeneity of biological, social, and psychiatric factors which may contribute to MDD.

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 discusses what defines an integrative approach regarding research and methods, including various study designs and models which are appropriate choices when attempting to bridge data domains; a necessity when whole-person modelling. 

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

This lightning talk describes the heterogeneity of the MR field regarding types of scanners, data formats, protocols, and software/hardware versions, as well as the challenges and opportunities for unifying these datasets in a common interface, MRdataset.

This lesson describes the current state of brain-computer interface (BCI) standards, including the present obstacles hindering the forward movement of BCI standardization as well as future steps aimed at solving this problem. 

This lightning talk gives an outline of the DataLad ecosystem for large-scale collaborations, and how DataLad addresses challenges that may arise in such research cooperations.

In this lightning talk, you will learn about BrainGlobe, an initiative which exists to facilitate the development of interoperable Python-based tools for computational neuroanatomy.
