Big Data Neuroscience Ideas Lab

Catalog description

Recent technological developments have transformed neuroscience research, enabling us to generate comprehensive 'big data' sets that are often shared freely amongst the neuroscience community. This lab course will explore strategies to effectively use such open-sourced neuroscience data sets. Students will identify fundamental open questions in brain science and develop strategies to mine open-source sequencing, imaging and connectivity data to address their research questions. DO NOT REQUEST AN OVERRIDE FOR THIS COURSE. Please see the Class Notes section on how to gain enrollment into this course.
