This lecture provides an introductory overview of some of the most important concepts in software engineering.
In this lesson, you will learn in more detail about neuromorphic computing, that is, non-standard computational architectures that mimic some aspect of the way the brain works.
This video provides a very quick introduction to some of the neuromorphic sensing devices, and how they offer unique, low-power applications.
In this lesson, while learning about the need for increased large-scale collaborative science that is transparent in nature, users also are given a tutorial on using Synapse for facilitating reusable and reproducible research.
This lecture discusses what defines an integrative approach regarding research and methods, including various study designs and models which are appropriate choices when attempting to bridge data domains; a necessity when whole-person modelling.
Similarity Network Fusion (SNF) is a computational method for data integration across various kinds of measurements, aimed at taking advantage of the common as well as complementary information in different data types. This workshop walks participants through running SNF on EEG and genomic data using RStudio.
This lesson provides an introduction the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF), its mission towards FAIR neuroscience, and future directions.
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 final lesson of the course consists of the panel discussion for Streamlining Cross-Platform Data Integration session during the first day of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023.
This lightning talk describes the heterogeneity of the MR field regarding types of scanners, data formats, protocols, and software/hardware versions, as well as the challenges and opportunities for unifying these datasets in a common interface, MRdataset.
This session covers the framework of the International Brain Lab (IBL) and the data architecture used for this project.
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 is the second of three lectures around current challenges and opportunities facing neuroinformatic infrastructure for handling sensitive data.
In this lesson you will learn about current efforts towards integrating multimodal human brain data using the open source SCORE HED library schema.
This lecture aims to help researchers, students, and health care professionals understand the place for neuroinformatics in the patient journey using the exemplar of an epilepsy patient.
The lesson introduces the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), the community standard for organizing, curating, and sharing neuroimaging and associated data. The session focuses on understanding the BIDS framework, learning its data structure and validation processes.
This session moves from BIDS basics into analysis workflows, focusing on how to turn raw, BIDS-organized data into derivatives using BIDS Apps and containers for reproducible processing. It compares end-to-end pipelines across fMRI and PET (and notes EEG/MEG), explains typical preprocessing choices, and shows how standardized inputs plus containerized tools (Docker/AppTainer) yield consistent, auditable outputs.
The session explains GDPR rules around data sharing for research in Europe, the distinction between law and ethics, and introduces practical solutions for securely sharing sensitive datasets. Researchers have more flexibility than commonly assumed: scientific research is considered a public interest task, so explicit consent for data sharing isn’t legally required, though transparency and informing participants remain ethically important. The talk also introduces publicneuro.eu, a controlled-access platform that enables sharing neuroimaging datasets with open metadata, DOIs, and customizable access restrictions while ensuring GDPR compliance.
