Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is the most widely used technique for investigating the living, functioning human brain as people perform tasks and experience mental states. This book covers the design, acquisition, and analysis of fMRI data.

This book draws a complete picture of the data analysis process, filling out many details that are missing from previous presentations. It presents a new perspective on what makes for a successful data analysis and how the quality of data analyses can be judged.

Data analysis is now part of practically every research project in the life sciences. In this book we use data and computer code to teach the necessary statistical concepts and programming skills to become a data analyst. Instead of showing theory first and then applying it to toy examples, we start with actual applications and describe the theory as it becomes necessary to solve specific challenges. The book includes links to computer code that readers can use to follow along as they program.

We'll begin with the most basic question — what does it mean to "see" something? — and walk step by step through how we gather information from the universe. From photons falling into telescopes to the fingerprints of atoms in starlight, you'll learn how we extract meaning from distant messengers. This book doesn't assume you're a physicist. What it assumes is that you're curious, thoughtful, and willing to slow down and think things through. We emphasize conceptual understanding, plain language, and building your own reasoning from the ground up. You'll walk in the shoes of astronomers, wrestle with cosmic puzzles, and come away with a deep, working intuition for how astrophysics actually works. Whether you're preparing for more advanced coursework, teaching others, or simply hungry to understand the universe for yourself, this is your starting point. Note: this material is originally developed as a required resource for a college course.

These are the fundamental principles of greenkeeping, if one agrees that greenkeeping is all about the growth rate of the grass and modifying that rate to get the desired surface conditions. Here's what influences the growth rate, how turfgrass managers can think about those factors, and how they can be adjusted to achieve the desired growth rate.

This book describes 15 practical applications of Human Complexity in the context of software and digital products development. And suggests a new strategy for introducing Complexity thinking to your team and your organisation. The book is for leaders, managers, facilitators, change agents (Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches), and team members.

A complete foundation for Statistics, also serving as a foundation for Data Science, that introduces inference using randomization and simulation while covering traditional methods. Leanpub revenue supports OpenIntro, so we can provide free desk copies to teachers interested in using our books in the classroom. More resources: openintro.org.

Are you doing research but have no idea how to plan your data collection? No idea how to collect data after finishing your protocol?*** You do not have to worry now.*** Read this book on Research Data Collection using EpiData. This is a beginner step-by-step tutorial book, introducing a simple data collection process using EpiData software.

New to research? This is the one book you should read. It's got everything. It'll take you from choosing your project and starting out in a lab, through designing experiments, acquiring data and performing the appropriate analysis, and all the way on to writing up your work for publication, and presenting your work at conferences.

Quantum computing is real, but is frankly surrounded by a thick fog of hype. Do you want to see it clearly, understand its realities, and even consider joining it as a professional software engineer?

Toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TKTD) modelling is an exciting field of ecotoxicology that aims to understand and predict toxic effects, rather than just describing them. A lot of work has been done in this field, especially over the last two decades. However, many open (and in some cases fundamental) questions still remain to be solved.

A book about how to be a scientist the modern, open-source way.
