About the Practical Course
In the rapidly evolving field of neuroscience, data is expanding in both volume and complexity. The need to record neuronal activity over many hours and days while tracking fine and precise behaviors brings with it the challenge of complex data integration and analysis. Customized platforms, driven by tailored codes, are becoming the norm in many laboratories, underscoring the need for training and development of these computational skills in today’s researchers.
This EMBO Practical Course provides training in basic programming and advanced models for analyzing neuronal data derived from a variety of recording techniques. The focus will be on electrophysiology, fiber photometry, calcium imaging, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In addition, rodent behavioral analysis using open source tools will also be explored.
Through these approaches, we aim to equip participants with an understanding of the fundamental steps of data processing, and to enable them to implement new data analysis techniques to meet their scientific challenges.
About EMBO Courses and Workshops
EMBO Courses and Workshops are selected for their excellent scientific quality and timelines, provision of good networking activities for all participants and speaker gender diversity (at least 40% of speakers must be from the underrepresented gender).
Organisers are encouraged to implement measures to make the meeting environmentally more sustainable.
