This session will include presentations of infrastructure that embrace the FAIR principles developed by members of the INCF Community. This lecture provides an overview and demo of the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP).

This lecture covers the three big questions: What is the universe?, what is life?, and what is consciousness?

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

This lecture covers the history of behaviorism and the ultimate challenge to behaviorism. 

This lecture covers various learning theories.

An introduction to data management, manipulation, visualization, and analysis for neuroscience. Students will learn scientific programming in Python, and use this to work with example data from areas such as cognitive-behavioral research, single-cell recording, EEG, and structural and functional MRI. Basic signal processing techniques including filtering are covered. The course includes a Jupyter Notebook and video tutorials.

The goal of computational modeling in behavioral and psychological science is using mathematical models to characterize behavioral (or neural) data. Over the past decade, this practice has revolutionized social psychological science (and neuroscience) by allowing researchers to formalize theories as constrained mathematical models and test specific hypotheses to explain unobservable aspects of complex social cognitive processes and behaviors. This course is composed of 4 modules in the format of Jupyter Notebooks. This course comprises lecture-based, discussion-based, and lab-based instruction. At least one-third of class sessions will be hands-on. We will discuss relevant book chapters and journal articles, and work with simulated and real data using the Python programming language (no prior programming experience necessary) as we survey some selected areas of research at the intersection of computational modeling and social behavior. These selected topics will span a broad set of social psychological abilities including (1) learning from and for others, (2) learning about others, and (3) social influence on decision-making and mental states.

This lesson continues from part one of the lecture Ontologies, Databases, and Standards, diving deeper into a description of ontologies and knowledg graphs. 

This short video shows how a brainlife.io publication can be opened from the Data Deposition page of the journal Nature Scientific Data.

This short video shows how data in a brainlife.io publication can be opened from a DOI inside a published article. The video provides an example of how the DOI deposited on the journal can be opened with a web browser to redirect to the associated data publication on brainlife.io.
