Connectionists: NeuroML hands-on satellite tutorial at CNS*2021 on July 2nd 2021 at 1500 UTC

[Ankur Sinha]

Dear all,

Apologies for the cross-posts.

We will be running a half day satellite tutorial at the 30th annual
meeting of the Organization for Computational Neurosciences (OCNS),
CNS*2021 Online. The tutorial will be held on July 2nd, 2021 at 1500
UTC.

https://docs.neuroml.org/Events/202107-CNS2021.html

The goal of the tutorial is to teach users to build, visualise,
analyse, and simulate models using NeuroML.

Why take part?
---------------

This tutorial is aimed at new and current NeuroML users. We will start
with a quick introduction to the NeuroML standard and the associated
software ecosystem, after which we will proceed to conduct hands-on
sessions to show how one can build computational models with NeuroML.

Times and dates

Registration
-------------

To take part in the tutorial, please register here for the CNS*2021 meeting:
https://www.cnsorg.org/cns-2021

Pre-requisites
---------------

The sessions will make use of the NeuroML Python tools.  Please follow
the documentation to install them on your system if you wish to use them
locally:

- PyNeuroML:
  https://docs.neuroml.org/Userdocs/Software/pyNeuroML.html#pyneuroml
- libNeuroML:
  https://docs.neuroml.org/Userdocs/Software/libNeuroML.html#libneuroml

You can also use the interactive Jupyter notebooks from the
documentation if you prefer (example:
https://docs.neuroml.org/Userdocs/NML2_examples/SingleNeuron.html).
These can be run on Binder and Google Collab in your web browser and do
not require you to install anything locally on your computer.


Slack
-----

To aid communication with the community during (and after) the meeting,
we have a Slack channel for NeuroML related discussions.  Please
contact Padraig Gleeson (p DOT gleeson AT ucl DOT ac DOT uk) or Ankur
Sinha (ankur DOT sinha AT ucl DOT ac DOT uk) for an invite.

You can also contact the NeuroML community using one of our other
channels:
https://docs.neuroml.org/NeuroMLOrg/CommunicationChannels.html#contact-chat

We look forward to working with the community to drive further uptake of
NeuroML compliant models and tools!
