About this workshop
This workshop will introduce you to building and operating computational data workflows— multistep methods for data collection and analysis—in neurophysiology experiments. We will use the DataJoint framework to organize shared data and automate analysis in Python. We will review prepared workflows from the DataJoint Elements projects: array ephys (e.g. Neuropixels 2.0), calcium imaging, and Miniscope imaging. Hands-on tutorials will be conducted using online tutorials with prepared sample data.
