Lecture on functional brain parcellations and a set of tutorials on bootstrap agregation of stable clusters (BASC) for fMRI brain parcellation which were part of the 2019 Neurohackademy, a 2-week hands-on summer institute in neuroimaging and data science held at the University of Washington eScience Institute.
Neuronify is an educational tool meant to create intuition for how neurons and neural networks behave. You can use it to combine neurons with different connections, just like the ones we have in our brain, and explore how changes on single cells lead to behavioral changes in important networks. Neuronify is based on an integrate-and-fire model of neurons. This is one of the simplest models of neurons that exist. It focuses on the spike timing of a neuron and ignores the details of the action potential dynamics. These neurons are modeled as simple RC circuits. When the membrane potential is above a certain threshold, a spike is generated and the voltage is reset to its resting potential. This spike then signals other neurons through its synapses.
Neuronify aims to provide a low entry point to simulation-based neuroscience.
This tutorial illustrates several ways to approach predictive modeling and machine learning with MATLAB.
A brief overview of the Python programming language, with an emphasis on tools relevant to data scientists. This lecture was part of the 2018 Neurohackademy, a 2-week hands-on summer institute in neuroimaging and data science held at the University of Washington eScience Institute.

Agah Karakuzu takes a spaghetti script written in MATLAB and turns it into understandable and reusable code living happily in a powerful GitHub repository.
A quick walkthrough the Tidyverse, an "opinionated" collection of R packages designed for data science. Includes the use of readr, dplyr, tidyr, and ggplot2.
Basic knowledge and comfort with Command Line Interfaces (CLI) is highly beneficial for learning how to use countless neuroscience tools and acquiring programming skills. Furthermore, CLIs are better disposed to reproducibility, automation, concatenation in pipelines, execution on multiple platforms, and remote access.
Ross Markello takes you through this general introduction to the essentials of navigating through a Bash terminal environment. The lesson is based on the Software Carpentries "Introduction to the Shell" and was given in the context of the BrainHack School 2020.
Ross Markello provides an overview of Python applications to data analysis, demonstrating why it has become ubiquitous in data science and neuroscience.
