Neuroscientists increasingly rely on neuroinformatics for their investigations. Data science offers a key set of tools and methods for robust and reproducible analyses of brain imaging data. These sessions are the first in a series that will teach students fundamental skills that contribute to reproducible brain science.

Project Bio

Since 2018, a group of neuroscientists from several Canadian universities and institutions have been collaborating to create and teach a curriculum for neuroimaging analysis and neuroinformatics. Adopting open standards like BIDS and fostering FAIR principles is among the strategic goals of this training program. This project is seeking a form of accreditation from The Carpentries, whose vision is to be the leading inclusive community teaching data and coding skills. For this reason, we name our effort NeuroCarpentry.

Note

Some familiarity with Python is helpful for the first two lessons (Introduction to working with MRI data and BIDS with Python and Structural NeuroImaging Analysis in Python). Introductions to Python can be found in such lessons as Software Carpentry鈥檚 Plotting and Programming in Python and Programming with Python.
