Connectionists: Neural Data Analysis Workshop before FENS forum (Jun 3-4, 2026)

[Edoardo Balzani]

Excited to share a great opportunity for systems neuroscientists!
This July, right before the FENS forum, the Flatiron Institute Center for
Computational Neuroscience of the Simons Foundation is hosting a hands-on
workshop <https://www.simonsfoundation.org/event/ccn_fens2026/?swcfpc=1> on
neural data analysis in Barcelona, Spain.

*Workshop Details:*
*What: *2-day workshop on pynapple <https://pynapple.org/> & NeMoS
<https://nemos.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#>
*When: *Jul 3–4, 2026
*Where: *Melia Barcelona Sky Hotel Pere IV, 272 - 286 Spain
*Who:* Grad students & postdocs analyzing electrophysiology or calcium
imaging data*. *Applicants located in Europe and Africa will be prioritized.

Via live-coding and hands-on group projects, you will learn to:

   - Use pynapple for neural data manipulation and exploration
   - Build statistical models with NeMoS (powered by JAX with GPU
   acceleration)


*Cost:* Accommodation & meals provided, no participation fees.

Both packages are open-source Python tools developed at Flatiron CCN
<https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-neuroscience/>
to streamline neural data analysis and modeling.
