This lesson gives an introduction to the central concepts of machine learning, and how they can be applied in Python using the scikit-learn package. 

This lecture introduces you to the basics of the Amazon Web Services public cloud. It covers the fundamentals of cloud computing and goes through both the motivations and processes involved in moving your research computing to the cloud.

This tutorial demonstrates how to work with neuronal data using MATLAB, including actional potentials and spike counts, orientation tuing curves in visual cortex, and spatial maps of firing rates.

In this lesson, users will learn how to appropriately sort and bin neural spikes, allowing for the generation of a common and powerful visualization tool in neuroscience, the histogram. 

Followers of this lesson will learn how to compute, visualize and quantify the tuning curves of individual neurons. 

This lesson demonstrates how to programmatically generate a spatial map of neuronal spike counts using MATLAB.

In this lesson, users are shown how to create a spatial map of neuronal orientation tuning. 

Panel discussion by leading scientists, engineers and philosophers discuss what brain-computer interfaces are and the unique scientific and ethical challenges they pose. hosted by Lynne Malcolm from ABC Radio National's All in the Mind program and features:

• Dr Hannah Maslen, Deputy Director, Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, University of Oxford
• Prof. Eric Racine, Director, Pragmatic Health Ethics Research Unity, Montreal Institute of Clinical Research
• Prof Jeffrey Rosenfeld, Director, Monash Institute of Medical Engineering, Monash University
• Dr Isabell Kiral-Kornek, AI and Life Sciences Researcher, IBM Research
• A/Prof Adrian Carter, Neuroethics Program Coordinator, ARC Centre of Excellence for Integrative Brain Function

Panel of experts discuss the virtues and risks of our digital health data being captured and used by others in the age of Facebook, metadata retention laws, Cambridge Analytica and a rapidly evolving neuroscience. The discussion was moderated by Jon Faine, ABC Radio presenter. The panelists were:

• Mr Sven Bluemmel, Victorian Information Commissioner
• Prof Judy Illes, Neuroethics Canada, University of British Columbia, Order of Canada
• Prof Mark Andrejevic, Professor of Media Studies, Monash University
• Ms Vrinda Edan, Chief Operating Officer, Victorian Mental Illness Awareness Council
