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 parallelIntroduces the canonical data analysis cascade, standardizing the data analysis flow. Presents tactics that strategically, tactically, and algorithmically help improve the organization of code.
