Upcoming Webinars

Using brain activity to control hardware: a primer on closed-loop fiber photometry experiments with FP3002

 

We invite you to join our upcoming webinar Dr. Olivia Hon, Staff Scientist at MBF Bioscience, alongside Christopher Johnson, Electrical Engineer.

 

Closed-loop experiments, where real-time analysis of brain activity is used to control hardware output, offer a powerful tool for understanding the connection between brain function and behavior. The FP3002 system allows for real-time analysis of neural activity and utilizes signal features to control optogenetic stimulation or external behavioral hardware without requiring user input.

 

In this session, you’ll discover:

  • How to set up and fine-tune closed-loop workflows in Bonsai using existing hardware
  • The fundamentals of closed-loop methodology to unlock its potential for your research
  • Practical applications of closed-loop fiber photometry for addressing complex biological questions

 

This webinar is ideal for researchers interested in:

  • Optogenetics
  • Neural control of behavior
  • Closed-loop fiber photometry experiments

 

Date: Wednesday, May 1st

Time: 1:00PM EDT

Upcoming Workshops

International Virtual Workshop on Confocal Microscopy and Stereology
Date: August 5-9, 2024

 

Description:
This workshop is presented by Dr. Peterson. This workshop will provide intensive, practical training in the cutting-edge technologies of confocal microscopy and quantitative histology using design-based stereology. Discussions follow each topic and there is individual post-workshop project consultation.

 

Dr. Peterson is an internationally respected expert in the application of stereological principles in the areas of neuroscience and stem cell research. He is a Professor and Director of the Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. Dr. Peterson is the President of NeuroRenew, Inc., and serves as the course convenor and primary lecturer for the international workshops.

 

 

Who Should Attend

  • Graduate students who need to use modern microscopy or stereology in their projects
  • Postdoctoral fellows who would benefit from a comprehensive introduction to microscopy and stereology
  • Young investigators who need to incorporate these analytical approaches into their labs
  • Investigators new to histological analysis who need a rapid and complete introduction to these techniques

 

Please note that MBF Bioscience only recommends courses and workshops taught by capable and qualified instructors with no commercial affiliations.
