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.
In this lesson you will learn how to simulate seizure events and epilepsy in The Virtual Brain. We will look at the paper On the Nature of Seizure Dynamics, which describes a new local model called the Epileptor, and apply this same model in The Virtual Brain. This is part 1 of 2 in a series explaining how to use the Epileptor. In this part, we focus on setting up the parameters.
This lesson provides an introduction to the Symposium on Science Management at the Canadian Association for Neuroscience 2019 Meeting.
This lesson gives a primer to project management in a scientific context, with a particular neuroinformatic case study.
In this lesson, you will hear about the current challenges regarding data management, as well as policies and resources aimed to address them.
This lesson covers "Knowledge Translation", the activities involved in moving research from the laboratory, the research journal, and the academic conference into the hands of people and organizations who can put it to practical use.
In this lesson, you will hear about the various methods developed and employed in managing performance.
This lesson provides an overview of how to manage relationships in a research context, while highlighting the need for effective communication at various levels.
In this lesson you will hear a panel discussion which hosts experts in the field whom have extensive experience with management in a science setting.
This lecture provides an introduction to optogenetics, a biological technique to control the activity of neurons or other cell types with light.
This primer on optogenetics primer discusses how to manipulate neuronal populations with light at millisecond resolution and offers possible applications such as curing the blind and "playing the piano" with cortical neurons.
This lecture covers the description and characterization of an input-output relationship in a information-theoretic context.
This lesson is part 1 of 2 of a tutorial on statistical models for neural data.
This lesson is part 2 of 2 of a tutorial on statistical models for neural data.
From the retina to the superior colliculus, the lateral geniculate nucleus into primary visual cortex and beyond, this lecture gives a tour of the mammalian visual system highlighting the Nobel-prize winning discoveries of Hubel & Wiesel.
From Universal Turing Machines to McCulloch-Pitts and Hopfield associative memory networks, this lecture explains what is meant by computation.
In this lesson you will learn about ion channels and the movement of ions across the cell membrane, one of the key mechanisms underlying neuronal communication.
This lecture covers visualizing extracellular neurotransmitter dynamics
This lecture consists of the second half of the introduction to signal transduction, here focusing on cell receptors and signalling cascades.
In this lesson, you will learn about GABAergic interneurons and local inhibition on the circuit level.
