INCF Course Director: Advanced Statistical Modeling of Neuronal Data  (2012)

One week intensive course in advanced statistical methods for analyzing neural recordings (single neuron recordings, neuronal populations, fMRI, EEG/MEG) held at U. Osnabruck, Germany and attended by 35 international Ph.D. students.

The course was funded by an 18,000 € INCF grant which I co-wrote.

Lecture 1  Encoding Models
Lecture 2  Model Selection
Lecture 3  Encoding Example

Lecture 4  Decoding
Lecture 5  State Space Decoding (Chalk Talk Notes)

Lecture 6  Population Models 1
Lecture 7  Population Models 2

Video of the above lectures being delivered (and also those of other course instructors) can be found here.
