Learning outcomes

After completing the course, you understand how Neuroinformatics integrates different disciplines to work together towards understanding the operation of the brain. You have gained an overall understanding of methods related to neuroinformatics via introductory lectures on neuroscientific measurements, data types, bases, manipulation, storage, mining, and sharing, and brain atlases, and deeper knowledge on select neuroinformatics topics from expert guest lectures, exercises, and seminar presentations and written reports prepared and presented by yourself and the other participants. Via preparing the seminar report, you have familiarized yourself with writing a scientific conference paper, and received feedback in the same fashion.
