Advanced Neural Data Analysis and Neuroinformatics School (ANDA-NI)

Advanced Neural Data Analysis and Neuroinformatics Course ANDA-NI Sept. (Part 1) and Nov. (Part 2)

We are excited to announce the launch of the Advanced Neural Data Analysis and Neuroinformatics school (ANDA-NI), a successor of the popular ANDA courses held since 2017. The program is targeted to students and researchers in neuroscience who are eager to enhance their skills in analyzing and managing complex cellular and network-level neuroelectrophysiological data.
Aims:
- Gain practical experience in analyzing and managing electrophysiological datasets that you bring to the school.
- Learn to put the latest neuroinformatics tools to use.
- Work closely with experts in the field.

Synopsis:
Techniques to record neuronal data from populations of neurons are rapidly improving, allowing for simultaneous recordings from hundreds of channels while animals perform complex behavioral tasks. The analysis of such massive and intricate data sets poses significant challenges. ANDA-NI aims to equip participants with theoretical and practical training in state-of-the-art analysis approaches for neurophysiological data.

In addition, the school emphasizes the importance of data management to facilitate collaborative efforts in data analysis within research teams. ANDA-NI offers in-depth practical training on working with electrophysiological data in a collaborative environment and implementing workflows using current neuroinformatics tools.

The school will be held in a hybrid fashion, with an in-person workshop of one week held at the Research Center Jülich, Germany.

Application deadline: August 20th, 2024

Participation is limited to 14 participants to allow for an interactive and intense learning environment.
