In this lesson, the simulation of a virtual epileptic patient is presented as an example of advanced brain simulation as a translational approach to deliver improved clinical results. You will learn about the fundamentals of epilepsy, as well as the concepts underlying epilepsy simulation. By using an iPython notebook, the detailed process of this approach is explained step by step. In the end, you are able to perform simple epilepsy simulations your own.
This lecture provides an overview of successful open-access projects aimed at describing complex neuroscientific models, and makes a case for expanded use of resources in support of reproducibility and validation of models against experimental data.
This lesson provides an overview of Neurodata Without Borders (NWB), an ecosystem for neurophysiology data standardization. The lecture also introduces some NWB-enabled tools.
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 lesson provides a short overview of the main features of the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP) Portal, a web interface that facilitates open science for the neuroscience community by simplifying global access to and sharing of datasets and tools. The Portal internalizes the typical cycle of a research project, beginning with data acquisition, followed by data processing with published tools, and ultimately the publication of results with a link to the original dataset.
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 lesson provides a brief overview of the Python programming language, with an emphasis on tools relevant to data scientists.
In this lesson, users can follow along as a spaghetti script written in MATLAB is turned into understandable and reusable code living happily in a powerful GitHub repository.
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 FAIR atlases, including their background and construction, as well as how they can be created in line with the FAIR principles.
This lesson contains the first part of the lecture Data Science and Reproducibility. You will learn about the development of data science and what the term currently encompasses, as well as how neuroscience and data science intersect.
The lecture provides an overview of the core skills and practical solutions required to practice reproducible research.
This lecture provides an introduction to reproducibility issues within the fields of neuroimaging and fMRI, as well as an overview of tools and resources being developed to alleviate the problem.
This lecture provides a historical perspective on reproducibility in science, as well as the current limitations of neuroimaging studies to date. This lecture also lays out a case for the use of meta-analyses, outlining available resources to conduct such analyses.
This lecture covers a lot of post-war developments in the science of the mind, focusing first on the cognitive revolution, and concluding with living machines.
This module explains how neurons come together to create the networks that give rise to our thoughts. The totality of our neurons and their connection is called our connectome. Learn how this connectome changes as we learn, and computes information.
This lecture provides an introduction to the study of eye-tracking in humans.
