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:
