This lecture describes how to build research workflows, including a demonstrate using DataJoint Elements to build data pipelines.
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 emergence of cognitive science after the Second World War as an interdisciplinary field for studying the mind, with influences from anthropology, cybernetics, and artificial intelligence.
This lecture provides an introduction to Plato’s concept of rationality and Aristotle’s concept of empiricism, and the enduring discussion between rationalism and empiricism to this day.
This lecture covers different perspectives on the study of the mental, focusing on the difference between Mind and Brain.
This lecture goes into further detail about the hard problem of developing a scientific discipline for subjective consciousness.
This lecture outlines various approaches to studying Mind, Brain, and Behavior.
This lecture focuses on how the immune system can target and attack the nervous system to produce autoimmune responses that may result in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis, and lupus cerebritis manifested by motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments. Despite the fact that the brain is an immune-privileged site, autoreactive lymphocytes producing proinflammatory cytokines can cause active brain inflammation, leading to myelin and axonal loss.
This lecture provides an introduction to the study of eye-tracking in humans.
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.
