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 gives an in-depth introduction of ethics in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in the context of its impact on humans and public interest. As the healthcare sector becomes increasingly affected by the implementation of ever stronger AI algorithms, this lecture covers key interests which must be protected going forward, including privacy, consent, human autonomy, inclusiveness, and equity.
This is a continuation of the talk on the cellular mechanisms of neuronal communication, this time at the level of brain microcircuits and associated global signals like those measureable by electroencephalography (EEG). This lecture also discusses EEG biomarkers in mental health disorders, and how those cortical signatures may be simulated digitally.
This lesson describes the principles underlying functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), tractography, and parcellation. These tools and concepts are explained in a broader context of neural connectivity and mental health.
This lecture covers different perspectives on the study of the mental, focusing on the difference between Mind and Brain.
This lesson briefly goes over the outline of the Neuroscience for Machine Learners course.
In this lesson, you will learn about the current challenges facing the integration of machine learning and neuroscience.
This lesson explores how researchers try to understand neural networks, particularly in the case of observing neural activity.
This lecture will provide an overview of neuroimaging techniques and their clinical applications.
This lecture picks up from the previous lesson, providing an overview of neuroimaging techniques and their clinical applications.
This lesson discusses both state-of-the-art detection and prevention schema in working with neurodegenerative diseases.
This lesson provides a basic introduction to clinical presentation of schizophrenia, its etiology, and current treatment options.
This lecture focuses on the rationale for employing neuroimaging methods for movement disorders.
This lecture provides an overview of some of the essential concepts in neuropharmacology (e.g. receptor binding, agonism, antagonism), an introduction to pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, and an overview of the drug discovery process relative to diseases of the central nervous system.
This lecture gives an introduction to the types of glial cells, homeostasis (influence of cerebral blood flow and influence on neurons), insulation and protection of axons (myelin sheath; nodes of Ranvier), microglia and reactions of the CNS to injury.
This lesson gives an introductory presentation on how data science can help with scientific reproducibility.
This lesson provides an introduction to the lifecycle of EEG/ERP data, describing the various phases through which these data pass, from collection to publication.
In this lesson you will learn about experimental design for EEG acquisition, as well as the first phases of the EEG/ERP data lifecycle.
This lesson provides an overview of the current regulatory measures in place regarding experimental data security and privacy.
In this lesson, you will learn the appropriate methods for collection of both data and associated metadata during EEG experiments.
