In this lecture, attendees will learn about the opportunities and challenges associated with Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), which, when trained with machine learning techniques on cognitive tasks, have become a widely accepted tool for neuroscientists.

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.

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.

In this lecture, you will learn about virtual research environments (VREs) and their technical limitations, (i.e., a computing platform and the software stack behind it) and the security measures which should be considered during implementation. 

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 provides an overview of how to conceptualize, design, implement, and maintain neuroscientific pipelines in via the cloud-based computational reproducibility platform Code Ocean. 

In this workshop talk, you will receive a tour of the Code Ocean ScienceOps Platform, a centralized cloud workspace for all teams. 

This lecture covers a wide range of aspects regarding neuroinformatics and data governance, describing both their historical developments and current trajectories. Particular tools, platforms, and standards to make your research more FAIR are also discussed.

This short walkthrough documents the steps needed to find a dataset in OpenNeuro, a free and open platform for sharing MRI, MEG, EEG, iEEG, ECoG, ASL, and PET data, and import it directly to a brainlife project. 

This short video walks you through the steps of publishing a dataset on brainlife, an open-source, free and secure reproducible neuroscience analysis platform.

This lesson provides a brief visual walkthrough on the necessary steps when copying data from one brainlife project to another. 

This lesson visually documents the process of uploading data to brainlife via the command line interface (CLI). 

This video shows how to use the brainlife.io interface to edit the participants' info file. This file is the ParticipantInfo.json file of the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS).

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

This video will document the process of visualizing the provenance of each step performed to generate a data object on brainlife.

This video will document the process of downloading and running the "reproduce.sh" script, which will automatically run all of the steps to generate a data object locally on a user's machine.

This video will document the process of creating a pipeline rule for batch processing on brainlife.

This video will document the process of launching a Jupyter Notebook for group-level analyses directly from brainlife.

This brief video walks you through the steps necessary when creating a project on brainlife.io. 

This brief video rus through how to make an accout on brainlife.io.
