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 lesson provides an introduction the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF), its mission towards FAIR neuroscience, and future directions.
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 lesson consists of a brief discussion around this sessions previous talks.
This is the third and final lecture of this course on neuroinformatics infrastructure for handling sensitive data.
In this lecture, you will learn about virtual research environments (VREs) and their technical limitations, (i.e., a computing platform and the software stack behind it) and the security measures which should be considered during implementation.
This lesson consists of a panel discussion, wrapping up the INCF Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023 workshop Research Workflows for Collaborative Neuroscience.
This brief talk outlines the obstacles and opportunities involved in striving for more open and reproducible publishing, highlighting the need for investment in the technical and governance sectors of FAIR data and software.
This brief video provides a welcome and short introduction to the outline of the INCF Short Course in Neuroinformatics, held Seattle, Washington in October 2023, in coordination with the West Big Data Hub and the University of Washington.
This opening lecture from INCF's Short Course in Neuroinformatics provides an overview of the field of neuroinformatics itself, as well as laying out an argument for the necessity for developing more sophisticated approaches towards FAIR data management principles in neuroscience.
