INCF Short Course: Introduction to Neuroinformatics 2023
Dates: 2 - 4 October 2023
Location: University of Washington, Seattle, WA
Neuroscience has entered an exciting new era of Big Data. New experimental methods are generating large, complex and multidimensional datasets. Data sharing initiatives are providing a broad community of researchers with access to rich datasets of neuroscience data at a range of temporal and spatial scales. This course will teach neuroscience researchers and researchers from related fields about neuroinformatics: the science and engineering of brain data. The topics covered will range from theoretical background, through methodological innovations in the field and their application, as well as socio-technical issues related to data sharing, applications of neuroinformatics to clinical questions, and compliance with sharing mandates.
Target audience
Early career researchers, trainees, or individuals switching into the field.
