This tutorial demonstrates how to perform cell-type deconvolution in order to estimate how proportions of cell-types in the brain change in response to various conditions. While these techniques may be useful in addressing a wide range of scientific questions, this tutorial will focus on the cellular changes associated with major depression (MDD). 

As a part of NeuroHackademy 2021, Noah Benson gives an introduction to Pytorch, one of the two most common software packages for deep learning applications to the neurosciences.

In this hands-on tutorial, Dr. Robert Guangyu Yang works through a number of coding exercises to see how RNNs can be easily used to study cognitive neuroscience questions, with a quick demonstration of how we can train and analyze RNNs on various cognitive neuroscience tasks. Familiarity of Python and basic knowledge of Pytorch are assumed.
