What makes the human brain unique? Most diseases of the human brain are only seen in humans. By understanding what makes the human brain different, we can understand more about these unique diseases. #studyBRAIN

We've been having a wonderful time at the TReND in Africa workshop! We are inspired by the students' passion and dedication. We can't wait to see the insights they discover from our #OpenScience resources.

Ever wondered how we could decode complex brain signals? Or how could we unlock the brain's secrets with Python and powerful computational models? I could not wait with excitement to join the #computational neuroscience and #machinelearning summer school course to unlock the above questions and satisfy my intellectual curiosity. This research-based course, organized by TReND in Africa at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, saw students from different backgrounds go through the competitive selection process. Understanding #brainnetworks is now happening in Kigali this month, July 2024, with lectures being delivered by top professors, scientists, and post-doctoral researchers in the field. Students specialized in fields of neuroscience, medicine, computer science, molecular neuroscience, optometry, artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, neuropharmacology, and electrical engineering are all excited to understand how the brain network functions, how to analyze brain signals, and how to use them to solve complex problems in the field of neuroscience. As the saying goes, "In neuroscience, as in other disciplines, it’s the small incremental steps that lead to breakthroughs."- Anonymous Up next, I will be sharing the small incremental steps delivered to students by these top scientists from TReND in Africa, Allen Institute for Brain Science Thank you, TReND in Africa Great applause to the Allen Institute for Brain Science, Allen Institute, Janelia Foundation, Google DeepMind, and Meta for sponsoring this transformative experience. Your support is helping students from different backgrounds in Africa decode the mysteries of the brain, one line of code at a time. #ComputationalNeuroscience #PythonProgramming #NeuralDataAnalysis #GitHub #GoogleColab #Neurobiology #SystemsNeuroscience #AllenInstitute #CMUAfrica #BrainScience #Innovation #Collaboration #Research"

We are already halfway through the first week of the TReND CaMinA course, and it gets more interesting as the days go by. We've covered introductory lessons in Python programming, neurobiology, and systems neuroscience. Today, we had our first hands-on tutorial using data sets from the Brain Observatory at the Allen Institute Learning from people with different areas of expertise and backgrounds has been incredibly rewarding. We have been able to leverage each other's strengths to complete tasks and exercises. It's amazing how open science tools, like the Spikeling and neuromorphic neuron, can be utilized by high schools and universities across Africa to make the study of neurons much more relatable. We also had a lot of fun during our brain social quiz, although it sparked a debate that I'd love to get your thoughts on: Which country is the most dorsal part of Africa? #neuroscience #machinelearning #Datasciene #Python #Programming Carnegie Mellon University Africa

Hey #linkedin fam I am thrilled to announce that out of 1,091 applicants from over 40 countries in Africa, I am one of the 25 students selected to participate in this year's TReND- CaMinA summer school. This is a fully funded Introduction to Computational Neuroscience and Machine Learning Basics Course. The course will be held at Carnegie Mellon University Africa in Rwanda over the next three weeks. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn and network with young scientists from all over Africa. I am especially excited to share this experience with Patrick Yeboah Bonsu, also from Ghana whom I met in person for the first time today at the Airport. I look forward to everything that lies ahead. Special thanks to TReND in Africa and Allen Institute for this amazing opportunity. #Python #computationalneuroscience #machinelearning #datascience

On this day in 2020, we launched Seattle Alzheimer’s Disease Brain Cell Atlas (SEA-AD) consortium with UW Medicine and Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute. Since its launch, the research collaboration has resulted in the continually expanding atlas of datasets and resources - all free and open to the entire Alzheimer's research community.
