Presentation Decks

Open a deck to present it in your browser. Choose a graduate lecture for a longer class, a technical-unit deck for a focused session, or a module session kit for slides paired with activities and worksheets.

Need a complete taught session? Start with the short lecture sequence: timed plans, slides, learner activities and model responses for Introduction to Connectomics, Synapse Detection, Tools and Methods, and Algorithms and Applications.

Ready-to-present graduate lectures

Three finished decks exist for the connectomics block of EN.585.781, Frontiers in Neuroengineering. These are presentation decks: 56–59 slides each, a custom lecture-hall theme, DOI-pinned citations, and a CC BY-SA 4.0 footer. One discovery pipeline — question, specimen, image, reconstruction, graph, claim — runs through all three, and eight progression streams introduced in the first are revisited as a scorecard at the end of the third. They draw on units 01–04, 08 and 09.

Introduction to connectomics

The case for mapping · three scales · the field as it stands. 59 slides.

Tools and methods

These are numbered 7–9 as lectures within that graduate course. They are not curriculum modules 07–09, which are Proofreading, Hypothesis Testing and Morphology.

Standalone graduate lectures from the reference layer

Two further presentation decks, built in the same theme and to the same standard, but not part of EN.585.781 or any other course. Each is drawn entirely from one content-library page, carries that page’s numbers and citations, and ends with a slide stating what the page does not cover. Both are sized for a single 50–60 minute lecture and carry the same CC BY-SA 4.0 licence and speaker notes as the decks above.

Synapse detection

Three problems and the published record · benchmarks and the sign problem · using somebody else's synapse table. 39 slides, from Synapse Detection.

Connectomics ethics and governance

Human tissue: consent and de-identification · licences · dual use and credit for proofreading. 31 slides, from Ethics and Governance.
