I have recently resurrected the NeuroFedora SIG. We aim to make Fedora a ready to use platform for neuroscientists, so that they can focus on the science. Read on to learn more!
When working on projects that require multiple iterations of simulations and/or analyses, it's really quite hard to keep track of the changes one makes and how the results vary. Sumatra is a tool that is developed to help researchers manage such projects.
After years of using the excellent Firefox, I've decided to tweak my workflow a little more by giving Qutebrowser a go. Qutebrowser is a brilliant keyboard-focused browser. In this post, I document my first day with Qutebrowser, and I also include some tips and tricks that others may find helpful.
I use Python to post process large amounts of spike data from my simulations. This post documents some observations I've made while writing my scripts.
Just some notes on different programming languages that one can use for web development. Includes Python, RoR, Rust, Erlang?
Finding the right set of parameters is quite important in a lot of research - machine learning and computational neuroscience are two fields that I know of. I recently had to ascertain the optimal parameter set for my simulations too. I came up with a quick script to do it for me.
I was tinkering with JavaScript and OpenLayers recently and came up with a web application that shows the different Neuroscience labs on the world and some summary information on them. Still needs a lot of data to be really useful, but it's a start.
