#computationalneuroscience — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

The ANDA-NI Retreat has begun, marking the third component of this year's Advanced Neural Data Analysis and Neuroinformatics programme. Nicholas A. Del Grosso and I are excited to kick off this closing project week together with a highly international crowd of dedicated participants.

Over the past weeks, participants worked through two online courses covering the mathematical foundations of neural data analysis (ANDA) and data management skills from neuroinformatics (NI). Now comes the part that matters just as much: applying that knowledge to real data, contributed by the participants themselves, and collaborating in small teams to tackle research questions.

Mastering the equations behind a technique is only half the job. The other half is developing an eye for data, learning to read what an analysis is actually telling you, spotting when something doesn't look right, and knowing how to embed and combine analysis methods into workflows that are reproducible and shareable with others. That's the skillset we're aiming to build this week.

Looking forward to an exciting and hands-on week ahead.
