This lecture covers multiple aspects of FAIR neuroscience data: what makes it unique, the challenges to making it FAIR, the importance of overcoming these challenges, and how data governance comes into play.

The International Brain Initiative (IBI) is a consortium of the world’s major large-scale brain initiatives and other organizations with a vested interest in catalyzing and advancing neuroscience research through international collaboration and knowledge sharing. This workshop introduces the IBI, the efforts of the Data Standards and Sharing Working Group,  and keynote lectures on the impact of data standards and sharing on large-scale brain projects, as well as a discussion on prospects and needs for neural data sharing.

Panel of experts discuss the virtues and risks of our digital health data being captured and used by others in the age of Facebook, metadata retention laws, Cambridge Analytica and a rapidly evolving neuroscience. The discussion was moderated by Jon Faine, ABC Radio presenter. The panelists were:

• Mr Sven Bluemmel, Victorian Information Commissioner
• Prof Judy Illes, Neuroethics Canada, University of British Columbia, Order of Canada
• Prof Mark Andrejevic, Professor of Media Studies, Monash University
• Ms Vrinda Edan, Chief Operating Officer, Victorian Mental Illness Awareness Council

In this interdisciplinary panel discussion, panelists explored and discussed the technical, ethical, and legal dimensions of brain data governance and neurorights.

Open Brain Consent is an international initiative aiming to address the challenge of creating participant consent language that will promote the open sharing of data, protect participant privacy, and conform to legal norms and institutional review boards.

Open Brain Consent addresses the aforementioned difficulties in neuroscience research with human participants by collecting:

• widely acceptable consent forms (with various translations) allowing deposition of anonymized data to public data archives
• collection of tools/pipelines to help anonymization of neuroimaging data making it ready for sharing

This lecture covers how you can make your data public through EBRAINS. This talk focuses on the ethical considerations for sharing data, the requirements that are imposed by various regulations, particularly for sharing human data. The lecture also includes a discussion of how EBRAINS designs its services to deal with the ethical and regulatory aspects of sharing these kinds of data.

This lecture discusses the challenges of protecting hospital data.

This lecture discusses differential privacy and synthetic data in the context of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences.

This lecture provides an introduction to optogenetics, a biological technique to control the activity of neurons or other cell types with light.

This primer on optogenetics primer discusses how to manipulate neuronal populations with light at millisecond resolution and offers possible applications such as curing the blind and "playing the piano" with cortical neurons.

This lesson gives an introduction to the Mathematics chapter of Datalabcc's Foundations in Data Science series.

This lesson serves a primer on elementary algebra.

This lesson provides a primer on linear algebra, aiming to demonstrate how such operations are fundamental to many data science. 

In this lesson, users will learn about linear equation systems, as well as follow along some practical use cases.

This talk gives a primer on calculus, emphasizing its role in data science.

This lesson clarifies how calculus relates to optimization in a data science context. 

This lesson covers Big O notation, a mathematical notation that describes the limiting behavior of a function as it tends towards a certain value or infinity, proving useful for data scientists who want to evaluate their algorithms' efficiency.

This lesson serves as a primer on the fundamental concepts underlying probability. 

Serving as good refresher, this lesson explains the maths and logic concepts that are important for programmers to understand, including sets, propositional logic, conditional statements, and more.
