This tutorial demonstrates how to work with neuronal data using MATLAB, including actional potentials and spike counts, orientation tuing curves in visual cortex, and spatial maps of firing rates.

This lesson instructs users on how to import electrophysiological neural data into MATLAB, as well as how to convert spikes to a data matrix.

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. 

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 lesson provides a brief overview of the Python programming language, with an emphasis on tools relevant to data scientists.

In this lesson, users can follow along as a spaghetti script written in MATLAB is turned into understandable and reusable code living happily in a powerful GitHub repository.

This lesson gives a quick walkthrough the Tidyverse, an "opinionated" collection of R packages designed for data science, including the use of readr, dplyr, tidyr, and ggplot2.

This lesson gives a general introduction to the essentials of navigating through a Bash terminal environment.  The lesson is based on the Software Carpentries "Introduction to the Shell" and was given in the context of the BrainHack School 2020.

This lesson covers Python applications to data analysis, demonstrating why it has become ubiquitous in data science and neuroscience. The lesson was given in the context of the BrainHack School 2020.

This lesson describes spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), a biological process that adjusts the strength of connections between neurons in the brain, and how one can implement or mimic this process in a computational model. You will also find links for practical exercises at the bottom of this page. 

This lesson provides a brief introduction to the Computational Modeling of Neuronal Plasticity.

In this lesson, you will be introducted to a type of neuronal model known as the leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) model.

This lesson goes over various potential inputs to neuronal synapses, loci of neural communication.

This lesson describes the how and why behind implementing integration time steps as part of a neuronal model.

In this lesson, you will learn about neural spike trains which can be characterized as having a Poisson distribution.

This lesson covers spike-rate adaptation, the process by which a neuron's firing pattern decays to a low, steady-state frequency during the sustained encoding of a stimulus.

This lesson provides a brief explanation of how to implement a neuron's refractory period in a computational model.

In this lesson, you will learn a computational description of the process which tunes neuronal connectivity strength, spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP).

This lesson reviews theoretical and mathematical descriptions of correlated spike trains.

This lesson investigates the effect of correlated spike trains on spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP).
