This lecture describes how to build research workflows, including a demonstrate using DataJoint Elements to build data pipelines.

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 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 learn in more detail about neuromorphic computing, that is, non-standard computational architectures that mimic some aspect of the way the brain works. 

This video provides a very quick introduction to some of the neuromorphic sensing devices, and how they offer unique, low-power applications.

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.

This lesson breaks down the principles of Bayesian inference and how it relates to cognitive processes and functions like learning and perception. It is then explained how cognitive models can be built using Bayesian statistics in order to investigate how our brains interface with their environment. 

This lesson corresponds to slides 1-64 in the PDF below. 

Whereas the previous two lessons described the biophysical and signalling properties of individual neurons, this lesson describes properties of those units when part of larger networks. 

This lesson goes over some examples of how machine learners and computational neuroscientists go about designing and building neural network models inspired by biological brain systems. 

This lecture presents an overview of functional brain parcellations, as well as a set of tutorials on bootstrap agregation of stable clusters (BASC) for fMRI brain parcellation.

Neuronify is an educational tool meant to create intuition for how neurons and neural networks behave. You can use it to combine neurons with different connections, just like the ones we have in our brain, and explore how changes on single cells lead to behavioral changes in important networks. Neuronify is based on an integrate-and-fire model of neurons. This is one of the simplest models of neurons that exist. It focuses on the spike timing of a neuron and ignores the details of the action potential dynamics. These neurons are modeled as simple RC circuits. When the membrane potential is above a certain threshold, a spike is generated and the voltage is reset to its resting potential. This spike then signals other neurons through its synapses.

Neuronify aims to provide a low entry point to simulation-based neuroscience.

This lesson continues with the second workshop on reproducible science, focusing on additional open source tools for researchers and data scientists, such as the R programming language for data science, as well as associated tools like RStudio and R Markdown. Additionally, users are introduced to Python and iPython notebooks, Google Colab, and are given hands-on tutorials on how to create a Binder environment, as well as various containers in Docker and Singularity.

This is a tutorial introducing participants to the basics of RNA-sequencing data and how to analyze its features using Seurat. 

This demonstration walks through how to import your data into MATLAB.

This lesson provides instruction regarding the various factors one must consider when preprocessing data, preparing it for statistical exploration and analyses. 

This tutorial outlines, step by step, how to perform analysis by group and how to do change-point detection.

This tutorial walks through several common methods for visualizing your data in different ways depending on your data type.

This tutorial illustrates several ways to approach predictive modeling and machine learning with MATLAB.

This brief tutorial goes over how you can easily work with big data as you would with any size of data.
