Access free, self-paced training to get started in less than 2 hours: MATLAB Onramp.
Commercial use of MathWorks products is not covered by our TAH license, so if you are using a commercial license, please continue to do so.
This workshop introduces participants to MATLAB. Topics include indexing and slicing of vectors and matrices, creation of script M-files and functions, control flow operators and basic 2D and 3D visualization. The workshop is targeted to participants with little to no knowledge of MATLAB and/or participants that would like to review basic MATLAB concepts.
Regular expressions are perfectly suited for people who like puzzles. Regular expressions are a sequence of characters used to define a search pattern. They are commonly used to do “find” and “find and replace” string operations. They are also used to validate strings like phone numbers, passwords, etc. in data entry. Regular expression capabilities can be found in a variety of programming languages and software like ArcGIS, Java, Javascript, Matlab, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Visual Basic, etc. and some text editors. This workshop is part II of a two-part series and will cover more advanced topics like captured groups, backreferences and assertions. The workshop will consist of hands-on example problems. Basic understanding of regular expressions is required. You should be able to understand expressions like “w{3,}-d{1,2}-d{4}“ and “des*ert?s?”. The tutorials will be conducted using Python. A basic programming background is helpful but not required for this workshop.
The Center for Human Growth and Development (CHGD) held a workshop on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a form of neuroimaging, with a special focus on pediatric applications. The workshop was sponsored by units at U-M, as well as units from Eastern Michigan University and Gallaudet University. It was attended by 50 people from as far away as Texas, and included research talks, instructional sessions, and hands-on experience with fNIRS data processing. The workshop was the first of its kind at U-M.
CHGD, ARC-TS, and LSA IT staff collaborated to provide a remote neuroimaging computing environment, which included a graphical interface, access to Matlab, and a suite of fNIRS software, that was accessed from participants’s laptops during the workshop. The attendees rated the practice exercises done via the computing environment one of the most important components of the workshop.
ARC-TS was pleased to be able to contribute to training in computational tools needed for emerging methods in neuroimaging. For more information about the fNIRS workshop, please see http://chgd.umich.edu/facilities-resources/developmental-neuroscience-laboratories/fnirs/fnirs-workshop/
