[visionlist] Nencki Open Lab Bonsai Online Workshop Series

[Mateusz Kostecki]

Hello!

We are happy to announce a new series of online Bonsai workshops!

Modern behavioral neuroscience experiments require us to synchronize
multiple data streams, precisely deliver stimuli, and – quite often – do
everything in a closed-loop setting. The fact that different devices use
different software doesn’t make this task any easier.

One of the best – and open – solutions to these challenges is *Bonsai*, a
reactive programming language that allows you to collect data from multiple
systems – from calcium imaging and sound recordings to sensors and control
of output devices such as feeders, motors, or stimulus delivery systems. It
is easy to learn, easy to implement, and robust.

We will run the workshop in three parts:

*Part I* – where we will introduce the basic logic of Bonsai, cover loading
and saving data, working with cameras to track animals, and the basics of
closed-loop experiments.

*Part II* – where we will show you more advanced aspects of Bonsai: working
with behavioral subjects, combining different data streams, and using the
BonVision library to generate visual stimuli.

*Part III* – where we will cover using Arduino alongside Bonsai to control
experimental equipment and save data from your sensors.

The first workshop – *Introduction to Bonsai* – will take place on *April
25th, 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM CET*. You can find the application form here:

The fee for each workshop is *EUR 23*.

*Requirements:* Windows computer, webcam

Best,
Mateusz Kostecki
