We are happy to see in print a paper by @kacperkon.bsky.social and Jagoda Nawrocka that was conceived at the School of Ideas of Neuroscience 2023!

💬 We’d love to hear from you! How useful would this be in your workflow if we provide it as an open-source tool? Anything else in the wishlist? Comment here, send a DM, or drop me an email, and please share this within your network! 🙏

Do you use Bonsai and Harp for behaviour acquisition? How easy has it been to interface the outputs with your analysis pipeline? We’re building a high-level Python interface to streamline Bonsai/Harp integration and align data streams. Nearly there, we’d love your input! See thread ⬇️ #neuroskyence

We are pleased to announce our first workshop in Portugal, which will guide you step by step through the process of pose estimation and unsupervised behavior analysis, focusing on two powerful tools: DeepLabCut and Keypoint-MoSeq! @deeplabcut.bsky.social

The workshop will take place on Oct 14-17th in Cantanhede, Portugal. Please find more info here - nenckiopenlab.org/keypoints/. TAs are: Konrad Danielewski (Nencki) and @flaviaricciardi.bsky.social (CNC UC).

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.

Today we have started our Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience - Decoding the brain: from methods to meaning - with a talk by @heikestein.bsky.social!

📢 Registration is now open for Scents and Imagination, a one-day symposium at CRASSH (University of Cambridge) exploring the cultural and sensory world of smell 👃🏻 With @willtullett.bsky.social and Sussan Babaie ➡️ Info and Registration: www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/45567/

Please DO NOT copy paste answers to our applications questions from ChatGPT. Believe us - fifty other people will do the same trick. And we will have fifty one identical applications to discard.

We are starting the fourth edition of Nencki Open Lab Optics and Microscopy course!

Celebrating the end of our 3 days of workshop in the local pub for a proper UK experience!

And the day two - Arduino, finally.

Enjoying some fresh air during the breaks at Sheringham 🌊🐚 All ready for the third and last day of hacking with Arduino 💪🏻

We're on for the second day! This amazing chapel-classroom gives off immaculate vibes to learn everything about Arduinos 😎🧠🧪

The Day One of @cam-openlab.bsky.social Electronics for Neuroscience workshop - we have built first circuits and are ready for more!

It's all set up and ready in sunny Sheringham for our next Electronics for Neuroscience workshop! 🧠🧪

Happy to share that I’ve been accepted into this highly relevant workshop organized vy @cam-openlab.bsky.social, and @fens.org has granted me a fee waiver along with a travel grant. If all goes well, I’ll be in @sheringham.org in early May to learn Electronics for Neuroscience. ✌

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?

Last day for applying to our next workshop! nenckiopenlab.org/electronics-...

Remember that registration for our next Electronics for Neuroscience workshop is live! See below for more details: www.fens.org/news-activit...

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 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-...

Applications are now open for our next workshop on Electronics for Neuroscience! This workshop is intended to provide you with theoretical and practical knowledge of electronics, from basics to setting up your own experiments! More information here 👇🏻 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...

Heard about #openhardware, wanted to know more, but was too afraid to ask? Fear no more! Join us on Feb 7th when @iamchagas.bsky.social will be at the #openscience office hours held by @theneuro.bsky.social! More info: openscienceofficehours.github.io/osoh_website...

🎇Happy New Year folks! 👀Check out PhyloPic, an open database of freely reusable silhouettes of life forms. It is totally worth checking these beautiful and realistic images ranging from 🍄and 🍁, to 🐒 and🦋. By @tmkeesey.bsky.social 🔗Link: open-neuroscience.com/en/post/phyl... #OpenScience #Science

Last #Arduino challenge before to close this first Cambridge Open Lab workshop 💪🏻 @openlab.bsky.social @open-neuroscience.bsky.social @chloeg-neuro.bsky.social @iamchagas.bsky.social

Day 3! Bonsai-rx meets #arduino. Such an awesome array of tools we have these days to get people into building their own equipment and rigs. @openlab.bsky.social #workshop with @cam-openlab.bsky.social and @open-neuroscience.bsky.social #neuroskyscience #opensoftware #openhardware

Movement detection with Arduino 👋💡

Seeing many new #olfaction researches on Bluesky, nice! I made a starter pack for researchers and groups studying the sense of smell or taste. If you want to get added let me know. go.bsky.app/xfXg9B

We start the second day of @cam-openlab.bsky.social workshop with a talk by @iamchagas.bsky.social on open neuroscience!

Our Arduino-mas lights yesterday may have influenced the weather today 🤔🎄☃️ Quite snowy on University of Sussex Library 🤩❄

Great start for our 2nd day of workshop with an inspiring presentation by @iamchagas.bsky.social about Open Science 🔧🔁🔬📖 ! Check this account to access nice resources: @open-neuroscience.bsky.social
