Why Coding is Becoming Essential for Neuroscientists

Modern neuroscience is increasingly data-driven. Researchers work with complex datasets that require programming skills for efficient, scalable, and reproducible analysis. At the upcoming FAIR Brain Data Science Boot Camp which will take place at Karolinska Institutet 11 – 13 May 2026, we are offering the following tutorials:

Introduction to Python for Neuroscientists Tutorial

This hands-on workshop introduces Python for scientific computing using Jupyter notebooks.

• NumPy and Pandas for data analysis
• Matplotlib and Nilearn for visualization
• siibra for brain atlas integration
• Introduction to tools like MNE-Python and SpikeInterface

Basic MATLAB Tutorial

Learn MATLAB fundamentals for neuroscience, including signal processing, time-series analysis, and reproducible workflows.

Why This Matters

• Handle large datasets efficiently
• Build reproducible workflows
• Customize analysis pipelines
• Collaborate across disciplines

Who Should Attend

Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and beginners.

Requirements

A laptop with an up-to-date browser (Chrome or Firefox recommended).
