This lesson explains the mathematics of neural mass models and their integration to a coupled network. You will also learn about bifurcation analysis, an important technique in the understanding of non-linear systems and as a fundamental method in the design of brain simulations. Lastly, the application of the described mathematics is demonstrated in the exploration of brain stimulation regimes.

In this lesson, the simulation of a virtual epileptic patient is presented as an example of advanced brain simulation as a translational approach to deliver improved clinical results. You will learn about the fundamentals of epilepsy, as well as the concepts underlying epilepsy simulation. By using an iPython notebook, the detailed process of this approach is explained step by step. In the end, you are able to perform simple epilepsy simulations your own.

This lesson introduces the practical usage of The Virtual Brain (TVB) in its graphical user interface and via python scripts. In the graphical user interface, you are guided through its data repository, simulator, phase plane exploration tool, connectivity editor, stimulus generator, and the provided analyses. The implemented iPython notebooks of TVB are presented, and since they are public, can be used for further exploration of TVB. 

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

This tutorial covers the fundamentals of collaborating with Git and GitHub.

This lesson provides a comprehensive introduction to the command line and 50 popular Linux commands. This is a long introduction (nearly 5 hours), but well worth it if you are going to spend a good part of your career working from a terminal, which is likely if you are interested in flexibility, power, and reproducibility in neuroscience research.

This book was written with the goal of introducing researchers and students in a variety of research fields to the intersection of data science and neuroimaging. This book reflects our own experience of doing research at the intersection of data science and neuroimaging and it is based on our experience working with students and collaborators who come from a variety of backgrounds and have a variety of reasons for wanting to use data science approaches in their work. The tools and ideas that we chose to write about are all tools and ideas that we have used in some way in our own research. Many of them are tools that we use on a daily basis in our work. This was important to us for a few reasons: the first is that we want to teach people things that we ourselves find useful. Second, it allowed us to write the book with a focus on solving specific analysis tasks. For example, in many of the chapters you will see that we walk you through ideas while implementing them in code, and with data. We believe that this is a good way to learn about data analysis, because it provides a connecting thread from scientific questions through the data and its representation to implementing specific answers to these questions. Finally, we find these ideas compelling and fruitful. That’s why we were drawn to them in the first place. We hope that our enthusiasm about the ideas and tools described in this book will be infectious enough to convince the readers of their value.

This talk presents state-of-the-art methods for ensuring data privacy with a particular focus on medical data sharing across multiple organizations.

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

Maximize Your Research With Cloud Workspaces is a talk aimed at researchers who are looking for innovative ways to set up and execute their life science data analyses in a collaborative, extensible, open-source cloud environment. This panel discussion is brought to you by MetaCell and scientists from leading universities who share their experiences of advanced analysis and collaborative learning through the Cloud.

This brief video provides an introduction to the third session of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023, focusing on how to streamling cross-platform data integration in a neuroscientific context. 

This talk describes the challenges to sustained operability and success of consortia, why many of these groups flounder after just a few years, and what steps can be taken to mitigate such outcomes. 

This talk discusses the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN), taking a look specifically at how this network approaches the design, development, and maintenance of specimen and sequencing library portals. 

In this talk, you will hear about the challenges and costs of being FAIR in the many scientific fields, as well as opportunities to transform the ecology of the academic crediting system. 

This brief talk describes the challenge of global data sharing and governance, as well as efforts of the the Brain Research International Data Governance & Exchange (BRIDGE) to develop ready-made workflows to share data globally. 

This talk describes how to use DataLad for your data management and curation techniques  when dealing with animal datasets, which often contain several disparate types of data, including MRI, microscopy, histology, electrocorticography, and behavioral measurements. 

This brief talk covers an analysis technique for multi-band, multi-echo fMRI data, applying a denoising framework which can be used in an automated pipeline.  

This lightning talk describes an automated pipline for positron emission tomography (PET) data. 

This lecture goes into detailed description of how to process workflows in the virtual research environment (VRE), including approaches for standardization, metadata, containerization, and constructing and maintaining scientific pipelines. 

This lesson gives a quick introduction to the rest of this course, Research Workflows for Collaborative Neuroscience.
