Project Description

This project is aimed at those at the beginner to intermediate level of programming / coding and MATLAB, and/or those interested in developing teaching materials. We will work on the materials for a one-day workshop course, Introduction to MATLAB, that have been previously developed and can be improved in documentation, topics covered, etc. The goal of the Bootcamp itself is to make the startup process for programming accessible and to give the basics such that someone can feel comfortable beginning their journey with MATLAB or any programming language – whether they plan to use it for neuroimaging analysis, modeling neuron membrane potentials, or anywhere in between.
