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.

In this module you will learn the basics of Brain Computer Interface (BCI). You will read an introduction to the different technologies available, the main components and steps required for BCI, associated safety and ethical issues, as well as an overview about the future of the field.

In this module, users will learn about the different types of neurotechnology and how each of them works. This will be done through the metaphor of going to a symphony... in your brain. Like a symphony, brain processes emerge from collections of neural activity. This video encourages us to imagine ourselves moving to different areas in the concert hall to understand where different technologies interface. Once the concert ends, we talk about underlying neural mechanisms and technology that allow researchers and innovators to interact with the brain.

This module addresses how neurotechnology is currently used for medical and non-medical applications, and how it might advance in the future.

This module covers a brief history of the neurotechnology industry, bringing the history of brain-computer interfacing to life through engaging skits and stories. 

This module covers many types of invasive neurotechnology devices/interfaces for the central and peripheral nervous systems. Invasive neurotech devices are crucial, as they often provide the greatest accuracy and long-term use applicability.

This module covers many of the types of non-invasive neurotech and neuroimaging devices including electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), electroneurography (ENG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and more. 

Neuromodulation refers to devices that influence the firing of neurons which can be useful in many medical applications. This modules covers what neuromodulation is, how it affects the functioning of neurons, and the many forms that these devices take on.

This modules covers neuroprosthetic and cognitive enhancement devices that can help augment our capabilities by enhancing memory, as well as restoring or improving our senses. 

This module goes over the methods that neurotechnologists use to turn brain data into commands a computer or a machine can understand. We cover data collection, processing, filtering, analysis, how to generate an action in a device, asynchronous BCIs that use population encoding, and synchronous BCIs that use P300, SSVEP, N100, and N400 signals. 

This module covers the many things that brain-computer interfaces can and will be able to do, including motor neuroprosthetics like prosthetic arms, exosuits, and vehicle control, as well as computer and machine interfacing use-cases.

This module covers how neurotechnology is perceived in media today. We discuss a few specific films and talk about how the perception of neurotechnology changes with our media. Finally, we introduce a few interesting terms related to ethics and address some future issues the technology may cause.

What will happen to the mind and our personalities when we start modifying our brains and bodies with technology? What is the mind and how should we think about it? What is a cyborg and what makes them human? Where is the line between these? This video invites us to think about what the future of consciousness might look like. 

This lecture covers visualizing extracellular neurotransmitter dynamics

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

This video will document the process of uploading data into a brainlife project using ezBIDS.

This short video walks you through the steps of publishing a dataset on brainlife, an open-source, free and secure reproducible neuroscience analysis platform.

This video will document the process of visualizing the provenance of each step performed to generate a data object on brainlife.

This video will document the process of downloading and running the "reproduce.sh" script, which will automatically run all of the steps to generate a data object locally on a user's machine.

This short video shows how a brainlife.io publication can be opened from the Data Deposition page of the journal Nature Scientific Data.
