Summary sheets for the @neuromatch Model Fitting tutorial (W1D2).
Fitting the "right" model is not simple or straightforward but tutorial by Pierre-Étienne Fiquet, @anqiwu_angela @AlexHyafil gives a very sold grounding of where to start

I was a bit minimal on the Generalised Linear Model (W1D3) @neuromatch summary sheet but the tutorials by Cristina Savin, Pierre-Etienne Fiquet, @arisbenjamin @jakhmack have loads of more materials.
I'm also retweeting the musical pairing👇as I like it 😃

Here are the Summary Sheets for @neuromatch Deep Learning tutorial by Aude Olivia, Jorge A. Menendez,
@computingnature and @Yalda_Mhz
Neural Networks are coming full circle they were informed by neuroscience and have been a great analysis tool but now..

& Ken Miller
Like last year I'll pair the Wilson-Cowan model with "Don't Give Up" Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush as they are both beautiful duets 1/

Also like Kate Bush, Systems of Differential Equations are cool and always will be cool. 2/2

The @neuromatch Summary Sheets for how to fish using Bayesian Decisions by @schrater_paul @NeuroChooser @xaqlab @EllaBatty and Saeed Salehi

Prior knowledge of the fish location can really help and that is Bayes in a nutshell. 2/2

Summary Sheets for @neuromatch Hidden Dynamics (W3D2) tutorial by @seanescola, Yicheng Fei, @xaqlab,
@JesseLivezey & Itzel Olivos Castillo
This day covers a massive amount from Drift Diffusion to Kalman Filters with a bit of Markov in the middle 1/2
compneuro.neuromatch.io/tutorials/W3D2…

Early this year I gave a talk in a pub about the parameters of a Drift Diffusion using the analogy of deciding if I will have another pint.
So pretty much that same content as the first tutorial of the #nma Hidden Dynamics day 2/2

Summary Sheets for Optimal Control (W3D3) by Maurice Smith, Zhengwei Wu, @shreyaneuroctrl, @xaqlab & Reza Shadmehr

some of us are a bit more like the kids in Charlie and Chocolate Factory and are doomed to repeat the same mistakes again and again until we get sucked up a giant pipe :) 2/2

The last @neuromatch Summary Sheets for the Network Causality (W3D5) by Sofia Triantafyllou, Ari Benjamin, Tony Liu @KordingLab & Rob Kass
With these techniques you can answer questions like did three weeks of Neuromatch make me tired or...
