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

This primer on optogenetics primer discusses how to manipulate neuronal populations with light at millisecond resolution and offers possible applications such as curing the blind and "playing the piano" with cortical neurons.

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 presentation by the OHBM OpenScienceSIG covers common scenarios where Git can be extremely valuable. The essentials covered include cloning a repository and keeping it up to date, how to create and use your own repository, and how to contribute to other projects via forking and pull requests.

DataLad is a versatile data management and data publication multi-tool. In this session, you can learn the basic concepts and commands for version control and reproducible data analysis. You’ll get to see, create, and install DataLad datasets of many shapes and sizes, master local version workflows and provenance-captured analysis-execution, and you will get ideas for your next data analysis project.
