In this talk, you will learn about the standardization schema for data formats among two of the US BRAIN Initiative networks: the Cell Census Network (BICCN) and the Cell Atlas Network (BICAN).
This lesson describes the current state of brain-computer interface (BCI) standards, including the present obstacles hindering the forward movement of BCI standardization as well as future steps aimed at solving this problem.
Brief introduction to Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs), persistent and unique identifiers for referencing a research resource.
Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) are ID numbers assigned to help researchers cite key resources (e.g., antibodies, model organisms, and software projects) in biomedical literature to improve the transparency of research methods.
The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) is a standard prescribing a formal way to name and organize MRI data and metadata in a file system that simplifies communication and collaboration between users and enables easier data validation and software development through using consistent paths and naming for data files.
Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) is a data standard for neurophysiology that provides neuroscientists with a common standard to share, archive, use, and build common analysis tools for neurophysiology data.
The Neuroimaging Data Model (NIDM) is a collection of specification documents that define extensions the W3C PROV standard for the domain of human brain mapping. NIDM uses provenance information as means to link components from different stages of the scientific research process from dataset descriptors and computational workflow, to derived data and publication.
This lesson provides a brief introduction to the Neuroscience Information Exchange (NIX) Format data model, which allows storing fully annotated scientific datasets, i.e., data combined with rich metadata and their relations in a consistent, comprehensive format.
This lecture provides an overview of successful open-access projects aimed at describing complex neuroscientific models, and makes a case for expanded use of resources in support of reproducibility and validation of models against experimental data.
This lesson provides an overview of Neurodata Without Borders (NWB), an ecosystem for neurophysiology data standardization. The lecture also introduces some NWB-enabled tools.
In February 2020, the Canadian government published its "Roadmap for Open Science" to provide overarching principles and recommendations to guide Open Science activities in federally funded scientific research. It outlines broad guidelines for making science in Canada open to all while respecting privacy, security, ethical considerations, and appropriate intellectual property protection.
This lecture provides an introductory overview of some of the most important concepts in software engineering.
This talk describes the NIH-funded SPARC Data Structure, and how this project navigates ontology development while keeping in mind the FAIR science principles.
This lecture covers structured data, databases, federating neuroscience-relevant databases, and ontologies.
This lecture covers FAIR atlases, including their background and construction, as well as how they can be created in line with the FAIR principles.
This lesson provides an introduction to the myriad forms of cellular mechanisms whicn underpin healthy brain function and communication.
This lesson provides an introduction to the course Cellular Mechanisms of Brain Function.
In this lesson you will learn about ion channels and the movement of ions across the cell membrane, one of the key mechanisms underlying neuronal communication.
This lesson presents the typical setup, equipment, and solutions used in whole-cell recording of neurons.
This lesson provides an introductory overview to synaptic transmission and associated neurotransmitters.
