Technical Course

Nine units in nanoscale connectomics, from why we map the brain through imaging, reconstruction, proofreading and analysis. Each ends in a graded artifact.

This track follows an end-to-end technical arc from motivation and imaging foundations through reconstruction, proofreading, and connectome analysis.

The nine units are path content: ordered, cumulative, and each ending in an artifact. They are the spine of the Core Concepts & Methods track, and the atlas rides alongside them as a reference companion, consulted rather than completed. The reference material the units draw on — dictionary, content library, journal club, atlas, hidden curriculum — sits in the core and can be consulted in any order. Working through this alone is self-study mode; if you are running related sessions for a group, the modules carry the same material in tutorial form, each with a session kit for hosted-workshop mode.

The nine units, and the atlas beside them

Units 01–09 are ordered and cumulative; each ends in a graded artifact. The atlas is reference: consult it as you go, do not work through it. Working through all nine, labs included, is about 31 hours.
