Introductory presentation on how data science can help with scientific reproducibility.
Introduction to the course Cellular Mechanisms of Brain Function.
Introduction to the course Cellular Mechanisms of Brain Function.
Ion channels and the movement of ions across the cell membrane.
Action potential initiation and propagation.
Synaptic transmission and neurotransmitters
This lecture covers NeuronUnit, a library that builds upon SciUnit and integrates with several existing neuroinformatics resources to support validating single-neuron models using data gathered by neurophysiologists.
An introduction to the NeuroElectro project, which aims to organize information on cellular neurophysiology. Speaker: Shreejoy Tripathy
Simultaneously recorded neurons in non-human primates coordinate their spiking activity in a sequential manner that mirrors the dominant wave propagation directions of the local field potentials.
This talk covers statistical analysis of spike train data, the modeling approach GLM, and the problem of assessing neural synchrony.
This talk covers statistical methods for characterizing neural population responses and extracting structure from high-dimensional neural data.
This presentation covers research to understand the activity of single neurons and populations of neurons in the visual system.
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 an overview of the structure of the mammalian neocortex, this lecture explains how the mammalian cortex is organized in a hierarchy, describing the columnar principle and canonical microcircuits
The retina has 60 different types of neurons. What are their functions? This lecture explores the definition of cell types and their functions in the mammalian retina.
Optical imaging offers a look inside the working brain. This lecture takes a look at orientation and ocular dominance columns in the visual cortex, and shows how they can be viewed with calcium imaging.
Functional imaging has led to the discovery of a plethora of visual cortical regions. This lecture introduces functional imaging techniques and their teachings about the visual cortex.
This lecture explains these ideas and explores the task of characterizing neuronal response properties using information theory.
What is color? This lecture explores how color is "made" in the brain and variations of color perception including trichromacy, color blindness in men, tetrachromatic vision in women, and genetic engineering of color perception.
