An in-person event that may be relevant for this community 📢🤓
My colleague Niko Sirmpilatze from the neuroinformatics team (Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, University College London) is organising an “Animals in Motion” workshop in this summer in London, on using open-source tools to track and analyse animal motion from video footage.
The workshop will include hands-on tutorials on some ML-based tools and on our own package, movement, and pre-supposes some basic Python knowledge.
This workshop is part of the Neuroinformatics Unit Open Software Week organised at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre in London this August 11-15.
This event will bring together researchers, developers, and users of open-source software for animal behaviour and neuroscience for some hands-on training, community-building and hacking. There will be three main tracks:
- Animals in motion: using open-source tools to track and analyse animal motion from video footage
- BrainGlobe: using the BrainGlobe ecosystem of computational neuroanatomy tools to analyse whole-brain microscopy datasets
- Big Imaging Data: bridging technical gaps and communities to process and analyse large 3D imaging datasets with open-source tools
There will also be a series of satellite events:
- Introduction to Python
- Alternative research careers clinic
- Collaborative coding with Git
- Hackday
The event is free to attend, but spots are limited.
We will be offering several travel stipends for participants outside of London.
More details and registration can be found on our website. Please share with anyone who may be interested.
