We are super happy to announce the fifth edition of our Transatlantic Behavioural Neuroscience School, that will be held Aug 11-22nd in Poland! Join us to learn everything you need to build your behavioural setup with open source tools!

Konrad Danielewski has just started our first @deeplabcut.bsky.social workshop at COS!

The deadline for registration is tomorrow!

There’s only one week left to apply for our workshop! Join us in Heidelberg on December 5th to discuss the stories we tell ourselves about our career trajectories and the often-overlooked factors that shape our research decisions!

We are happy to announce our next Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience: “Why Are There Neuroscientists?” This time, we’ll gather in the beautiful city of Heidelberg to explore our reasons and motivations for doing research in neuroscience.

It's time for the second workshop this autumn - this time, you will have an opportunity to learn animal pose estimation with Deeplabcut! Workshop will be held Nov 20-21st in Heidelberg and is free of charge. More info on our webpage!

Jagoda Nawrocka teaching Bonsai on our workshop today.

We are happy to announce our first workshop in the new academic year! Visit us in Heidelberg on Oct 17th to learn how to Bonsai programming language to collect data, control your experimental environment and run closed-loop paradigms! The workshop is free of charge!

Yesterday we ran our first Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience in Argentina, with fantastic discussions about the sources of variability and robustness in behaviour!

Why is behaviour so variable? How can we interpret our chaotic results, and what do they tell us about the function of the brain? Join us in Buenos Aires on Aug 9th to discuss the complexity, context-dependence, and robustness of behaviour on our Workshop of Ideas! nenckiopenlab.org/complexity/

We are super happy to announce the fourth edition of School of Ideas in Neuroscience! Come to Warsaw in September for in-depth talks, discussions and workshops that will help you to make sense of your data! The deadline for registration is July 21, 2025.

Our second Arduino workshop at COS today.

Today we run the 3D printing workshop with Polbionica and Helpi Optics as a satellite event for Neurons in Action conference at Nencki Institute!

Today we run our Spectral Data Analysis Workshop with Axel Hutt!

We would like to remind you that the deadline for @openlabhd.bsky.social Spectral Data Analysis workshop is May 16th! Workshop is organized locally in Heidelberg and is free of charge.

We are super happy to announce the third Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience! We will once again look critically at assumptions of modern neuroscience: what does it mean that the brain encodes information? Is this a useful approach, or a metaphor that blurs our vision?

We are super happy to announce the 4th edition of our Optics and Microscopy Workshop that will be held May 9-11 th at Nencki! Join us to learn optics - from basics up to building your fluorescent microscope! More info here -https://nenckiopenlab.org/optics-and-microscopy-workshop-2025/

We are happy to announce a series of Online Bonsai Workshops! You will have a great opportunity to learn Bonsai: from the basics to its more advanced applications in three parts of our course! More info on the webpage - nenckiopenlab.org/bonsai-online/

We are happy to announce our next workshop - Spectral Anakysis of Experimental Data! Join us on May 23rd to learn the basics of sampling theory, Fourier analysis, wavelets, and more! Link below.

And that was our first Arduino workshop at COS!

We are happy to announce our first workshop - Organizing Scientific Events! Join us on April 7th to learn how to plan your workshop, symposium, or summer school, get funding, promote it, and make it unforgettable! More info and the registration form can be found here - openlabhd.org/2025/03/25/o...

We meet tomorrow, 5:30 PM at COS!

The first set of Arduino kits arrived at Heidelberg Open Lab!

We are happy to announce a next workshop by @cam-openlab.bsky.social! This time you can learn everything you need to know about electronics to know your equipment better, improve your setup and get a deeper understanding of the processes you are studying! nenckiopenlab.org/electronics-...

We are super happy to present our first preprint - the effect of our Rethinking Naturalistic Behaviour Workshop - where we look more critically at the term "naturalistic behaviour" and point to its vagueness and inconsistency in its use! osf.io/preprints/os...

Join us on the kick-off meeting! Learn more about our initiative and join us to create a community of life scientists in Heildeberg to share skills & knowledge!

🚨 Neuromatch Academy Course Applications are OPEN for 2025!! 🚨 Get your application in early to be a student or teaching assistant for this year’s courses! Applications are due Sunday, March 23. Apply & learn more: neuromatch.io/courses/ #mlsky #compneurosky #ai #climatesolutions #ScienceEdu 🧪

Sam Gershman writes beautifully about how theory-free neuroscience prevents the field from reaching its promise. Beautiful and true. Most folks do not test hypotheses. Running a NHST does not a hypothesis make. www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...

There are only 5 days left to apply!
