This lesson gives an introduction to high-performance computing with the Compute Canada network, first providing an overview of use cases for HPC and then a hands-on tutorial. Though some examples might seem specific to the Calcul Québec, all computing clusters in the Compute Canada network share the same software modules and environments.

This talk presents an overview of CBRAIN, a web-based platform that allows neuroscientists to perform computationally intensive data analyses by connecting them to high-performance computing facilities across Canada and around the world.

This lecture presents an overview of functional brain parcellations, as well as a set of tutorials on bootstrap agregation of stable clusters (BASC) for fMRI brain parcellation.

Neuronify is an educational tool meant to create intuition for how neurons and neural networks behave. You can use it to combine neurons with different connections, just like the ones we have in our brain, and explore how changes on single cells lead to behavioral changes in important networks. Neuronify is based on an integrate-and-fire model of neurons. This is one of the simplest models of neurons that exist. It focuses on the spike timing of a neuron and ignores the details of the action potential dynamics. These neurons are modeled as simple RC circuits. When the membrane potential is above a certain threshold, a spike is generated and the voltage is reset to its resting potential. This spike then signals other neurons through its synapses.

Neuronify aims to provide a low entry point to simulation-based neuroscience.

Overview of Day 2 of this course.

This talk compares various sensors and resolutions for in vivo neural recordings.

This hands-on tutorial explains how to run your own Minion session in the MetaCell cloud using jupityr notebooks.

In this hands-on analysis tutorial, users will mimic a kernel crash and learn the steps to restore inputs in such a case.

This lesson will go through how to extract cells from video that has been cleaned of background noise and motion.

This final hands-on analysis tutorial walks users through the last visualization steps in the cellular data.

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 tutorial walks participants through the application of dynamic causal modelling (DCM) to fMRI data using MATLAB. Participants are also shown various forms of DCM, how to generate and specify different models, and how to fit them to simulated neural and BOLD data.

This lesson corresponds to slides 158-187 of the PDF below. 

In this hands-on session, you will learn how to explore and work with DataLad datasets, containers, and structures using Jupyter notebooks. 

This lecture will provide an overview of neuroimaging techniques and their clinical applications.

BioImage Suite is an integrated image analysis software suite developed at Yale University. BioImage Suite has been extensively used at different labs at Yale since about 2001.

Fibr is an app for quality control of diffusion MRI images from the Healthy Brain Network, a landmark mental health study that is collecting MRI images and other assessment data from 10,000 New York City area children. The purpose of the app is to train a computer algorithm to analyze the Healthy Brain Network dataset. By playing fibr, you are helping to teach the computer which images have sufficiently good quality and which images do not. 

This lecture covers the needs and challenges involved in creating a FAIR ecosystem for neuroimaging research.

This lecture covers the NIDM data format within BIDS to make your datasets more searchable, and how to optimize your dataset searches.

This lecture covers the processes, benefits, and challenges involved in designing, collecting, and sharing FAIR neuroscience datasets.
