Types of courses and workshops typically offered by the Secretariat include:

  • Introduction to programming (Python, MATLAB)
  • Introduction to neuroinformatics
  • Neuroinformatics reproducibility for everyone
  • Enabling multiscale data integration: turning data to knowledge
  • Introduction to data science
  • Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) user training tutorial
  • Neuroscience data integration through use of digital brain atlases

Example services

Mathworks

Training and education of early career “neuroinformaticians” is a major focus for the INCF, and it’s also an area prioritized by many IAC members, including MathWorks. Towards this goal, Mathworks and INCF have partnered to establish a fellowship program that engages current or recently graduated students as trainees to work on MATLAB neuroscience toolboxes.

Google Summer of Code

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development. Since 2011, the INCF network has served as a mentoring organization that pairs students with developers to work on 3-month programming projects.
