Help shape Open Lab Online – International community survey

[Nada El Mahmoudi]

Dear colleagues,

Many of us have faced the same challenge of finding practical and accessible training in open source tools for neuroscience, whether for building behavioural setups, implementing closed loop experiments, classifying behaviour, segmenting imaging data, synchronizing devices, or analysing complex datasets.

We believe these skills should be easier to access and shared more openly across institutions.

Building on the initiative and experience of the Nencki Open Lab (https://nenckiopenlab.org/), we are launching Open Lab Online, a new international and community driven series of online, hands on workshops dedicated to open-source tools for neuroscience, including behaviour, experimental control, synchronization, and data analysis.

Our goal is to extend the Open Lab spirit internationally through accessible online training and the exchange of expertise across labs and countries.

To make this initiative truly useful, we need your input. Please take 5 to 10 minutes to complete the short survey below and let us know which tools, skills, and topics would be most valuable to you:

Your responses will directly influence the content and format of the upcoming workshops.

If this resonates with you, please feel free to share the survey within your networks.

Let’s build a more open, practical, and technically empowered neuroscience community together.
