Date: Saturday, May 12th, 2018, 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Location: Center for Brain Health – University of British Columbia
Organizers:
Majid Mohajerani University of Lethbridge, Artur Luczak University of Lethbridge and Timothy Murphy University of British Columbia.
Supported in part by the UBC Dynamic Brain Circuits in Health and Disease Cluster and the Canadian Neurophotonics platform.
Description:Given the exponentially growing size and complexity of experimental data, advanced data analyses methods are proving to be indispensable for neuroscience research. In this workshop we will provide an overview of different analysis methods used in variety of neuroscience fields to help to understand complex brain signals.
The target audience of the workshop will be graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and principal investigators in neuroscience and psychology with interest in data analysis. The course will combine lectures and hands-on tutorials using MATLAB. Participants will perform the computer exercises using data sets and analysis software on their own laptop computers.
Scope: This one-day course will provide a survey of diverse topics, including methods for analyzing single and multiple spike trains, local field potential, EEG/MEG recordings, and fMRI data.
The maximum number of registrants has been reached and registration is now closed.
Ticket price: 50 CAD
