Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following event: Neural Data Analysis
This course is designed to help neuroscience practitioners to develop the conceptual and practical capabilities to meet the challenges posed by the analysis of these hard-won and large data-sets. There will be an emphasis on statistical issues such as the pre-processing of data, sampling biases, estimation methods and hypothesis testing as well as data wrangling (in MATLAB). Attendees will work with data from a variety of recording technologies including single- and multi-electrode extracellular recordings, local field potentials and EEG as well as two-photon and wide-field optical imaging. The course will give a solid conceptual and technical grounding in widely applicable methods such as: spectral analysis, multivariate analysis, network inference as well as methods specific to each recording technique.
The workshop will proceed in a seminar style, guided by leading neural data analysts, with demonstrations and practical lab data analysis exercises supervised by instructors.
