-=== What this course is === 
- 
-A hands-on introduction to basic management, visualization,​ and analysis of vandermeerlab data (spike trains and LFPs from behaving rats) using MATLAB. We will make contact with a few concepts from computer science, signal processing, and statistics. However, the focus is on making initial steps that work and getting pointers to more complete treatment, rather than a thorough theoretical grounding. 
- 
-The general format is that you work through the materials presented here on the wiki, you upload your work, I look at it, and we all discuss together at the following class meeting. So for the Week 2 meeting, work through the material under (1) above. 
- 
-Class meetings are initially set for 1.30-3.00pm in PAS 2464, but this might change -- changes will be announced by e-mail. There is no course website other than this one. 
- 
-=== What this course is not === 
- 
-Formal, thorough, complete. 
- 
-=== Assessment (only relevant if you are taking this course for credit) === 
- 
-Most weeks have you accomplish a series of tasks for which it will be obvious if you have succeeded or not. If you do only these and no more, you will receive a mark of 70%, but there are many ways to do better. 
- 
-For instance, most weeks additionally will have more open-ended problems, for which a range of solutions and accompanying interpretations are possible, some of which will be better than others. 
- 
-Contributions to the course wiki (elaborations,​ clarifications,​ useful resources, etc.) are also valued. 
- 
-Collaboration on all aspects of the course is encouraged! As always, work you submit should reflect your own understanding;​ copying code is not allowed. Recall the [[http://​subjectguides.uwaterloo.ca/​content.php?​pid=490675&​sid=4038961|uWaterloo guidelines]] on this. 
- 
-=== OS X users === 
- 
-The lab codebase is set up for machines running 64-bit Windows 7. I have seen everything done on a Mac, but I don't own one and cannot tell you much about how to make it work. Neuralynx has OS X versions of their MATLAB data loaders. 
- 
-=== Preliminaries ===  
- 
-If you are using a lab computer, make sure you have read the [[computing:​labcomputers|General]] info. Note that one of the steps is to send me confirmation that you understand and agree with certain things. Do this before going any further. 
- 
-Next, add your name and e-mail address to the [[analysis:​course:​participants|course participants]] page. 
- 
-Each wiki page has a ''​Subscribe''​ option, so you can get updates by e-mail when the page is changed; please do this, the subscription link is on the right of the page.
