Resources
A list of resources that we will use during the workshop. These resources include original and publicly available datasets that were standardised according to the CND data structure, as well as original analysis scripts and links to publicly available toolboxes for the analysis of continuous-event neural data. Note that each dataset should be used according to its own license and should be referenced as indicated by the authors in their original submission.
The main files to download, which can be taken as blueprint for new analyses, are: CNSP Resources Skeleton, which contains the folder structure and a basic tutorial code; CNSP Libraries, which should be unzipped in the 'libs' folder; the CND version of Natural speech listening and Bach piano melodies, which can also be found in the table below; and the CNSP2022 tutorials of interest listed below, which can be run on any CND dataset with minimal code modification.
Resources for CSNP 2021 can be found here.
Continuous-event Neural Data data format
Please check out the CND specifications (Continuous-event Neural Data). Detailed insights on the format can be found in our Resource preparation guidelines 2022 and on the BYOData Preparation Guidelines. All documents and resources will be refined and publicly shared during and after CNSP2022.| CNSP2022 Tutorials | |||
