Arduino 101

Arduino is an open-source microcontroller platform for creating and programming electronic devices. Learn how to harness analogue and digital inputs/outputs, while mastering file reading and timestamp saving

Light sheet image analysis

——- This Workshop is Full ——-

We present a documented graphical user interface of the open source software ClearMap2 that allows to easily process whole-brain optical imaging datasets to reconstruct, analyse and visualise cell labelling or vascular graphs vetted with the help of artificial neural networks.

Code/data versioning

Learn how versioning code with GitHub, following a community-defined specification to organise neuroimaging data (BIDS) and versioning data with DVC can allow you to improve the reproducibility of your research. An illustration with Clinica (www.clinica.run).

Web-based behavioural experiments

Online behavioral testing can provide large amounts of data required to feed machine-learning approaches and study populations that are otherwise hard to reach. Familiarize yourself with key tools and techniques to develop your own web experiments.
