This lesson describes the Neuroscience Gateway , which facilitates access and use of National Science Foundation High Performance Computing resources by neuroscientists.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 39:27
Speaker: : Subha Sivagnanam

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.

EyeWire is a game to map the brain. Players are challenged to map branches of a neuron from one side of a cube to the other in a 3D puzzle. Players scroll through the cube and reconstruct neurons with the help of an artificial intelligence algorithm developed at Seung Lab in Princeton University. EyeWire gameplay advances neuroscience by helping researchers discover how neurons connect to process visual information. 

Difficulty level: Beginner
