An overview and workflow for thinking through and implementing freely behaving animals experiments
A day and a half of lectures and hands-on Miniscope activities centrally located in Research Triangle, NC! From experimental design and hardware setup to data analysis and interpretation.
A brief overview of what makes up the noise and signal of a miniscope recording with links to interactive notebooks and more info.
This document walks through the typical analysis pipeline, what the dominant algorithms (especially CNMF-E variants) actually do, what one-photon (1p) data can and cannot tell you, and how to assess single-cell calcium activity quality.
Reference procedures for animal and imaging preparation, and experimental setup using legacy Miniscope systems.
A day and a half of lectures and hands-on Miniscope activities at CSHL Imaging Structure and Function in the Nervous System 2026! From experimental design and hardware setup to data analysis and interpretation.
A basic outline of our procedure for implanting a GRIN lens above the hippocampus for CA1 imaging written for the Miniscope V3.
Hands-on workshop covering the complete open-source Miniscope imaging pipeline! From experimental design and hardware setup to data analysis and interpretation.
Miniscope tools are driven by the community. When issues, bugs, or challenges come up, it is extremely helpful to us to know about them. This guide will walk you through the how, and why, of submitting problem/bug/issue to the Miniscope Project.
A discussion of common issues and where to access additional guides and FAQs on the most reoccurring questions around Miniscopes.
A walkthrough of steps to validate the functionality of a newly assembled Miniscope on the bench before moving to animal experiments.
