This talk covers the various concepts, motivations, and trends within the neuroscientific community related to the sharing and integration of brain research data.
This lesson focuses on the neuroanatomy of the human brain, delving into macrostructures like cortices, lobes, and hemispheres, and microstructures like neurons and cortical laminae.
This lesson provides an introduction to the European open research infrastructure EBRAINS and its digital brain atlas resources.
In this lesson, attendees will learn about the challenges in assigning experimental brain data to specific locations, as well as the advantages and shortcomings of current location assignment procedures.
This lesson covers the inherent difficulties associated with integrating neuroscientific data, as well as the current methods and approaches to do so.
Attendees of this talk will learn about QuickNII, a tool for user-guided affine registration of 2D experimental image data to 3D atlas reference spaces, which also facilitates data integration through standardized coordinate systems.
This lesson provides an overview of DeepSlice, a Python package which aligns histology to the Allen Brain Atlas and Waxholm Rat Atlas using deep learning.
This lecture provides an introduction to optogenetics, a biological technique to control the activity of neurons or other cell types with light.
This primer on optogenetics primer discusses how to manipulate neuronal populations with light at millisecond resolution and offers possible applications such as curing the blind and "playing the piano" with cortical neurons.
This lesson continues with the second workshop on reproducible science, focusing on additional open source tools for researchers and data scientists, such as the R programming language for data science, as well as associated tools like RStudio and R Markdown. Additionally, users are introduced to Python and iPython notebooks, Google Colab, and are given hands-on tutorials on how to create a Binder environment, as well as various containers in Docker and Singularity.
This talk gives an overview of the perspectives and FAIR-aligned policies of the academic journal Public Library of Science, better known as PLOS. This journal is a nonprofit, open access publisher empowering researchers to accelerate progress in science.
This lecture gives a tour of what neuroethics is and how it applies to neuroscience and neurotechnology, while also addressing justice concerns within both fields.
This lecture covers the biomedical researcher's perspective on FAIR data sharing and the importance of finding better ways to manage large datasets.
This lecture covers the benefits and difficulties involved when re-using open datasets, and how metadata is important to the process.
This video gives a short introduction to the EBRAINS data sharing platform, why it was developed, and how it contributes to open data sharing.
This video introduces the key principles for data organization and explains how you could make your data FAIR for data sharing on EBRAINS.
This video introduces the importance of writing a Data Descriptor to accompany your dataset on EBRAINS. It gives concrete examples on what information to include and highlights how this makes your data more FAIR.
This video demonstrates how to find, access, and download data on EBRAINS.
KnowledgeSpace (KS) is a data discoverability portal and neuroscience encyclopedia that was developed to make it easier for the neuroscience community to find publicly available datasets that adhere to the FAIR Principles and to provide an integrated view of neuroscience concepts found in Wikipedia and NeuroLex linked with PubMed and 17 of the world's leading neuroscience repositories. In short, KS provides a single point of entry where reseaerchers can search for a neuroscience concept of interest and receive results that include: i. a description of the term found in Wikipedia/NeuroLex, ii. links to publicly available datasets related to the concept of interest, and iii. up-to-date references that support the concept of interests found in PubMed. APIs are available so that developers of other neuroscience research infrastructures can integrate KS components in their infrastructures. If your repository or your favorite repository is not indexed in KS, please contact us.
This lecture covers the NIDM data format within BIDS to make your datasets more searchable, and how to optimize your dataset searches.
