Course - Woods Hole, MA, US
The scope includes all forms of time series data as well as anatomical data gathered in a neuroscientific context. This includes point processes (single and multiple spike trains), continuous processes (local field potential, EEG/MEG recordings, optical imaging data, fMRI and PET data), and neuroanatomical data (MRI, light microscopy as well as EM). Techniques for exploratory and confirmatory analysis of the data will be treated, along with the underlying scientific questions and potential biomedical applications. The goal is to provide pedagogical material as well as a forum for discussion. The course also includes tutorials on database management, web programming and surveys of neuroinformatics resources.
Computer laboratory: A hands-on approach will be taken in a computer laboratory that forms an integral part of this course. Example data sets will be supplied, and participants are encouraged to bring their own data. We will primarily use the high-level language MATLAB, with additional tools brought forth as needed (e.g., MySQL, domain-specific data analysis packages). The participants will be guided in applying analytical techniques to the example data sets and will further participate in a structured "data analysis challenge", in which teams will analyze data sets in the context of specific questions. This should benefit both experimental researchers that wish to analyze their own data sets and theorists who want to work with data.
