Overview of the content for Day 1 of this course.

In this lesson, users will learn about human brain signals as measured by electroencephalography (EEG), as well as associated neural signatures such as steady state visually evoked potentials (SSVEPs) and alpha oscillations. 

Best practices: the tips and tricks on how to get your Miniscope to work and how to get your experiments off the ground.

This talk delves into challenges and opportunities of Miniscope design, seeking the optimal balance between scale and function.

Attendees of this talk will learn aobut computational imaging systems and associated pipelines, as well as open-source software solutions supporting miniscope use.

This talk covers the present state and future directions of calcium imaging data analysis, particularly in the context of one-photon vs two-photon approaches. 

In this talk, results from rodent experimentation using in vivo imaging are presented, demonstrating how the monitoring of neural ensembles may reveal patterns of learning during spatial tasks.

How to start processing the raw imaging data generated with a Miniscope, including developing a usable pipeline and demoing the Minion pipeline.

The direction of miniature microscopes, including both MetaCell and other groups.

Overview of the content for Day 2 of this course.

Summary and closing remarks for this three-day course.

This lecture covers infrared LED oblique illumination for studying neuronal circuits in in vitro block-preparations of the spinal cord and brain stem.

This lecture provides an introduction to the study of eye-tracking in humans. 

This lecture covers the application of diffusion MRI for clinical and preclinical studies.

This lecture provides an introduction to the application of genetic testing in neurodevelopmental disorders.

This lesson is a general overview of overarching concepts in neuroinformatics research, with a particular focus on clinical approaches to defining, measuring, studying, diagnosing, and treating various brain disorders. Also described are the complex, multi-level nature of brain disorders and the data associated with them, from genes and individual cells up to cortical microcircuits and whole-brain network dynamics. Given the heterogeneity of brain disorders and their underlying mechanisms, this lesson lays out a case for multiscale neuroscience data integration.

The state of the field regarding the diagnosis and treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) is discussed. Current challenges and opportunities facing the research and clinical communities are outlined, including appropriate quantitative and qualitative analyses of the heterogeneity of biological, social, and psychiatric factors which may contribute to MDD.

This is the first of two workshops on reproducibility in science, during which participants are introduced to concepts of FAIR and open science. After discussing the definition of and need for FAIR science, participants are walked through tutorials on installing and using Github and Docker, the powerful, open-source tools for versioning and publishing code and software, respectively.

This lesson contains both a lecture and a tutorial component. The lecture (0:00-20:03 of YouTube video) discusses both the need for intersectional approaches in healthcare as well as the impact of neglecting intersectionality in patient populations. The lecture is followed by a practical tutorial in both Python and R on how to assess intersectional bias in datasets. Links to relevant code and data are found below. 

This lesson delves into the opportunities and challenges of telepsychiatry. While novel digital approaches to clinical research and care have the potential to improve and accelerate patient outcomes, researchers and care providers must consider new population factors, such as digital disparity.
