This lesson provides a short overview of the main features of the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP) Portal, a web interface that facilitates open science for the neuroscience community by simplifying global access to and sharing of datasets and tools. The Portal internalizes the typical cycle of a research project, beginning with data acquisition, followed by data processing with published tools, and ultimately the publication of results with a link to the original dataset.

Longitudinal Online Research and Imaging System (LORIS) is a web-based data and project management software for neuroimaging research studies. It is an open source framework for storing and processing behavioural, clinical, neuroimaging and genetic data. LORIS also makes it easy to manage large datasets acquired over time in a longitudinal study, or at different locations in a large multi-site study.

Not long ago, scientists in physiotherapy would claim for the need of big data and large initiatives in the US have already allowed to collect large retrospective data on recovery after brain injury and are working to collect prospective data. In Europe, there is a large field of collaboration in the field of aphasia supported by the European cooperation in Science and Technology that is collecting data on language recovery throughout the world. This lecture discusses recent advances in sharing big data for neurorehabilitation.
