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 visualizing extracellular neurotransmitter dynamics

This lecture provides an introduction to optogenetics, a biological technique to control the activity of neurons or other cell types with light.

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 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 lesson describes a definitional framework for fairness and health equity in the age of the algorithm. While acknowledging the impressive capability of machine learning to positively affect health equity, this talk outlines potential (and actual) pitfalls which come with such powerful tools, ultimately making the case for collaborative, interdisciplinary, and transparent science as a way to operationalize fairness in health 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.
