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

This lesson provides an introduction to the Symposium on Science Management at the Canadian Association for Neuroscience 2019 Meeting.

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 covers "Knowledge Translation", the activities involved in moving research from the laboratory, the research journal, and the academic conference into the hands of people and organizations who can put it to practical use.

In this lesson, you will hear about the various methods developed and employed in managing performance. 

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 hear a panel discussion which hosts experts in the field whom have extensive experience with management in a science setting.

This is a tutorial on how to simulate neuronal spiking in brain microcircuit models, as well as how to analyze, plot, and visualize the corresponding data. 

This video will document the process of running an app on brainlife, from data staging to archiving of the final data outputs.

This quick video presents some of the various visualizers available on brainlife.io

This short video shows how a brainlife.io publication can be opened from the Data Deposition page of the journal Nature Scientific Data.

An introduction to data management, manipulation, visualization, and analysis for neuroscience. Students will learn scientific programming in Python, and use this to work with example data from areas such as cognitive-behavioral research, single-cell recording, EEG, and structural and functional MRI. Basic signal processing techniques including filtering are covered. The course includes a Jupyter Notebook and video tutorials.

In this session the Medical Informatics Platform (MIP) federated analytics is presented. The current and future analytical tools implemented in the MIP will be detailed along with the constructs, tools, processes, and restrictions that formulate the solution provided. MIP is a platform providing advanced federated analytics for diagnosis and research in clinical neuroscience research. It is targeting clinicians, clinical scientists and clinical data scientists. It is designed to help adopt advanced analytics, explore harmonized medical data of neuroimaging, neurophysiological and medical records as well as research cohort datasets, without transferring original clinical data. It can be perceived as a virtual database that seamlessly presents aggregated data from distributed sources, provides access and analyze imaging and clinical data, securely stored in hospitals, research archives and public databases. It leverages and re-uses decentralized patient data and research cohort datasets, without transferring original data. Integrated statistical analysis tools and machine learning algorithms are exposed over harmonized, federated medical data.

The Medical Informatics Platform (MIP) is a platform providing federated analytics for diagnosis and research in clinical neuroscience research. The federated analytics is possible thanks to a distributed engine that executes computations and transfers information between the members of the federation (hospital nodes). In this talk the speaker will describe the process of designing and implementing new analytical tools, i.e. statistical and machine learning algorithms.  Mr. Sakellariou will further describe the environment in which these federated algorithms run, the challenges and the available tools, the principles that guide its design and the followed general methodology for each new algorithm. One of the most important challenges which are faced is to design these tools in a way that does not compromise the privacy of the clinical data involved. The speaker will show how to address the main questions when designing such algorithms: how to decompose and distribute the computations and what kind of information to exchange between nodes, in order to comply with the privacy constraint mentioned above. Finally, also the subject of validating these federated algorithms will be briefly touched.

The Medical Informatics Platform (MIP) Dementia had been installed in several memory clinics across Europe allowing them to federate their real-world databases. Research open access databases had also been integrated such as ADNI (Alzheimer’s Dementia Neuroimaging Initiative), reaching a cumulative case load of more than 5,000 patients (major cognitive disorder due to Alzheimer’s disease, other major cognitive disorder, minor cognitive disorder, controls). The statistic and machine learning tools implemented in the MIP allowed researchers to conduct easily federated analyses among Italian memory clinics (Redolfi et al. 2020) and also across borders between the French (Lille), the Swiss (Lausanne) and the Italian (Brescia) datasets.

This talks presents ethics requirements of the Medical Informatics Platform, a data sharing platform for medical data using data federation mechanisms. The talk presents how the Medical Informatics Platform (MIP) works and which ethical requirements need to be considered when working with federated data.

This lecture talks about the usage of knowledge graphs in hospitals and related challenges of semantic interoperability.

This lecture discusses risk-based anonymization approaches for medical research.

This lesson introduces concepts and practices surrounding reference atlases for the mouse and rat brains. Additionally, this lesson provides discussion around examples of data systems employed to organize neuroscience data collections in the context of reference atlases as well as analytical workflows applied to the data.
