2024 Neuropixels course

A free online course on Neuropixels, 14-16 October 2024

A 4-shank Neuropixels 2.0 probe

Neuropixels probes are transforming neurophysiology, and are now adopted by hundreds of laboratories worldwide. This yearly online course trains scientists to use these probes in their experiments, and to process their output. The course is free and is supported by the Wellcome Trust. Lectures appear in our YouTube channel.  Click on the titles below to see the videos. The exercises and other materials are in this GitHub page

Days 1-2 (14-15 October 2024) had short talks that cover the basics so you can start working with Neuropixels probes, with lots of pointers to further resources and recent updates. People who are already expert users, or who took previous courses, may want to skip these days. Day 3 (16 October 2024), instead, did a deep dive into hot topics: developments of the Neuropixels probe; Neuropixels recordings across species; and the output of the International Brain Laboratory (IBL).
