This is the first of two workshops on reproducibility in science, during which participants are introduced to concepts of FAIR and open science. After discussing the definition of and need for FAIR science, participants are walked through tutorials on installing and using Github and Docker, the powerful, open-source tools for versioning and publishing code and software, respectively.

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 lesson contains the first part of the lecture Data Science and Reproducibility. You will learn about the development of data science and what the term currently encompasses, as well as how neuroscience and data science intersect. 

In this second part of the lecture Data Science and Reproducibility, you will learn how to apply the awareness of the intersection between neuroscience and data science (discussed in part one) to an understanding of the current reproducibility crisis in biomedical science and neuroscience. 

The lecture provides an overview of the core skills and practical solutions required to practice reproducible research.

This lecture provides an introduction to reproducibility issues within the fields of neuroimaging and fMRI, as well as an overview of tools and resources being developed to alleviate the problem.

This lecture provides a historical perspective on reproducibility in science, as well as the current limitations of neuroimaging studies to date. This lecture also lays out a case for the use of meta-analyses, outlining available resources to conduct such analyses. 

This workshop will introduce reproducible workflows and a range of tools along the themes of organisation, documentation, analysis, and dissemination. 

This lecture covers the emergence of cognitive science after the Second World War as an interdisciplinary field for studying the mind, with influences from anthropology, cybernetics, and artificial intelligence.

This lecture provides an introduction to Plato’s concept of rationality and Aristotle’s concept of empiricism, and the enduring discussion between rationalism and empiricism to this day.

This lecture covers different perspectives on the study of the mental, focusing on the difference between Mind and Brain. 

This lecture goes into further detail about the hard problem of developing a scientific discipline for subjective consciousness.

This lecture outlines various approaches to studying Mind, Brain, and Behavior. 

This lecture focuses on how the immune system can target and attack the nervous system to produce autoimmune responses that may result in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis, and lupus cerebritis manifested by motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments. Despite the fact that the brain is an immune-privileged site, autoreactive lymphocytes producing proinflammatory cytokines can cause active brain inflammation, leading to myelin and axonal loss.
