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.

This is a tutorial on how to simulate neuronal spiking in brain microcircuit models, as well as how to analyze, plot, and visualize the corresponding data.
