This lesson describes the Neuroscience Gateway , which facilitates access and use of National Science Foundation High Performance Computing resources by neuroscientists.
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.
The Mouse Phenome Database (MPD) provides access to primary experimental trait data, genotypic variation, protocols and analysis tools for mouse genetic studies. Data are contributed by investigators worldwide and represent a broad scope of phenotyping endpoints and disease-related traits in naïve mice and those exposed to drugs, environmental agents or other treatments. MPD ensures rigorous curation of phenotype data and supporting documentation using relevant ontologies and controlled vocabularies. As a repository of curated and integrated data, MPD provides a means to access/re-use baseline data, as well as allows users to identify sensitized backgrounds for making new mouse models with genome editing technologies, analyze trait co-inheritance, benchmark assays in their own laboratories, and many other research applications. MPD’s primary source of funding is NIDA. For this reason, a majority of MPD data is neuro- and behavior-related.
This lesson continues with the second workshop on reproducible science, focusing on additional open source tools for researchers and data scientists, such as the R programming language for data science, as well as associated tools like RStudio and R Markdown. Additionally, users are introduced to Python and iPython notebooks, Google Colab, and are given hands-on tutorials on how to create a Binder environment, as well as various containers in Docker and Singularity.
This demonstration walks through how to import your data into MATLAB.
This lesson provides instruction regarding the various factors one must consider when preprocessing data, preparing it for statistical exploration and analyses.
This tutorial outlines, step by step, how to perform analysis by group and how to do change-point detection.
This tutorial walks through several common methods for visualizing your data in different ways depending on your data type.
This tutorial illustrates several ways to approach predictive modeling and machine learning with MATLAB.
This brief tutorial goes over how you can easily work with big data as you would with any size of data.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to deploy your models outside of your local MATLAB environment, enabling wider sharing and collaboration.
This lesson provides a brief overview of the Python programming language, with an emphasis on tools relevant to data scientists.
This tutorial teaches users how to use Pandas objects to help store and manipulate various datasets in Python.
This lesson gives a quick walkthrough the Tidyverse, an "opinionated" collection of R packages designed for data science, including the use of readr, dplyr, tidyr, and ggplot2.
This lecture covers a wide range of aspects regarding neuroinformatics and data governance, describing both their historical developments and current trajectories. Particular tools, platforms, and standards to make your research more FAIR are also discussed.
Introduction of the Foundations of Machine Learning in Python course - Day 01.
High-Performance Computing and Analytics Lab, University of Bonn
This lecture covers FAIR atlases, including their background and construction, as well as how they can be created in line with the FAIR principles.
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 delves into the opportunities and challenges of telepsychiatry. While novel digital approaches to clinical research and care have the potential to improve and accelerate patient outcomes, researchers and care providers must consider new population factors, such as digital disparity.
This lecture focuses on how the immune system can target and attack the nervous system to produce autoimmune responses that may result in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis, and lupus cerebritis manifested by motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments. Despite the fact that the brain is an immune-privileged site, autoreactive lymphocytes producing proinflammatory cytokines can cause active brain inflammation, leading to myelin and axonal loss.
