Neural Data Science

A Primer with MATLAB® and Python? present important information on the emergence of the use of Python, a more general purpose option to MATLAB, the preferred computation language for scientific computing and analysis in neuroscience. This book addresses the snake in the room by providing a beginner's introduction to the principles of computation and data analysis in neuroscience, using both Python and MATLAB, giving readers the ability to transcend platform tribalism and enable coding versatility. - Includes discussions of both MATLAB and Python in parallel - Introduces the canonical data analysis cascade, standardizing the data analysis flow - Presents tactics that strategically, tactically, and algorithmically help improve the organization of code
