Dear all, We are happy to share several upcoming Open Lab Online events on open tools, training, and methods in neuroscience and behavior. Open Lab Online is an international initiative that organizes accessible online seminars and workshops around open-source tools, experimental methods, and training across neuroscience and behavior. Animal Training Methods Across Species From Experimental Design to Naturalistic Behavior This seminar series will explore how animals are trained to interact with experimental tasks, touchscreens, vehicles, virtual environments, and naturalistic paradigms. First confirmed speakers include Kelly Lambert, Jennifer Taylor-O’Connor, Rainer Friedrich, Matthew Isaacson, and Marieke Schölvinck & Martha Nari Havenith, with additional seminars to be announced. Dates: 14 October, 4 November, 25 November, 20 January, 10 February Time: 16:00 CEST / 10:00 EDT for 14 October; 16:00 CET / 10:00 EST from November Full program and registration: https://nenckiopenlab.org/animal-training-methods-across-species/ Neural Data Analysis with Open-Source Tools From Raw Signals to Behavior-Linked Activity This hands-on workshop series will introduce an open-source workflow for neural data analysis, taught directly by the developers of the tools. The series will cover: SpikeInterface → Bombcell → Pynapple → NeMoS Part 1: Spike Sorting and Curation 19–20 October, 15:00–18:00 CEST / 09:00–12:00 EDT each day Modules: SpikeInterface + Bombcell Part 2: Behavior-Linked Analysis and Modeling 26–27 October, 14:00–15:30 CET / 09:00–10:30 EDT each day Modules: Pynapple + NeMoS Full program and registration: https://nenckiopenlab.org/neuraldata/ Bonsai Module I Workshops We will also host two Bonsai Module I workshops for participants interested in behavioral experiments, video tracking, closed-loop systems, and real-time data acquisition. 29 September, 16:00 CEST / 10:00 EDT https://nenckiopenlab.org/event/2200/ 13 October, 16:00 CEST / 10:00 EDT https://nenckiopenlab.org/event/bonsai-module-i-2/ Please feel free to share these events with anyone who may be interested.
