Materials for Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience workshop (2023)

Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience workshop (2023)

Tutorial notebooks and slides for the FUN 2023 workshop "Integrating programming into neuroscience courses" and the Society for Neuroscience workshop "Teaching Neuroscience: New Approaches to Electrophysiology Labs."

There are three different ways you can interact with these materials from your browser:

1. We will predominantly be working on Google Colab:

2. But Binder is another option:

3. And a third option (necessary for working with NWB datasets) is cloning this repo in the Dandihub.

There are several ways to implement these notebooks in your class:

• Run notebooks via Binder or Colab, as demonstrated above
• Set up a JupyterHub for your course or university (e.g., the UCSD DataHub)
• Ask students to download the Anaconda Distribution of Python, which includes Jupyter Notebook, many useful packages and more, to run these notebooks locally

Teaching Resources related to this workshop:

• Various Lesson Plans with the Allen Institute for Brain Science resources
• Neurodata Without Borders for Education
• Webinar on Allen Cell Types Data
• Neeurobiology Lab JupyterBook
