Welcome to our course! 🪱

This website contains lab protocols as well as code and to help you complete your experiments for Neurobiology Lab (BIPN 145).

Most of the pages in this manual contain written or video guides to completing experiments in BIPN 145. Other pages are interactive coding notebooks, which you can use to analyze and visualize your data.

Lab Manual#

This website contains a full online version of our lab manual. You can also download the full lab manual as a PDF. You’re encouraged to print this manual so that you have a hard copy in lab with you.

Interactive coding notebooks#

To interact with the coding tutorials presented here, navigate to the page with the tutorial (e.g., “Importing Labchart (Python)”). On these pages, you’ll see a rocket 🚀 icon in the top right corner. Click on this, and choose Colab. This will launch Google Colab, where you can run the code in the notebook.

Alternatively, you can copy and paste the code you see here into a Python editor of your choice.

# Code blocks look like this!
# If you hover, there's an option to copy the contents.

Note that only notebooks with code in them will have the option to open them in Colab.
