The course is an introduction to the field of electrophysiology standards, infrastructure, and initiatives. This lecture contains an overview of the Australian Electrophysiology Data Analytics Platform (AEDAPT), how it works, how to scale it, and how it fits into the FAIR ecosystem.

The course is an introduction to the field of electrophysiology standards, infrastructure, and initiatives. This lecture discusses how to standardize electrophysiology data organization to move towards being more FAIR.

Since their introduction in 2016, the FAIR data principles have gained increasing recognition and adoption in global neuroscience.  FAIR defines a set of high level principles and practices for making digital objects, including data, software and workflows, Findable, Accessible,  Interoperable and Reusable.  But FAIR is not a specification;  it leaves many of the specifics up to individual scientific disciplines to define.  INCF has been leading the way in promoting, defining and implementing FAIR data practices for neuroscience.  We have been bringing together researchers, infrastructure providers, industry and publishers through our programs and networks.  In this session, we will hear some perspectives on FAIR neuroscience from some of these stakeholders who have been working to develop and use FAIR tools for neuroscience.  We will engage in a discussion on questions such as:  how is neuroscience doing with respect to FAIR?  What have been successes?  What is currently very difficult? Where does neuroscience need to go?

This lecture will provide an overview of Addgene, a tool that embraces the FAIR principles developed by members of the INCF Community. This will include an overview of Addgene, their mission, and available resources.

This lecture will provide an overview of the INCF Training Suite, a collection of tools that embraces the FAIR principles developed by members of the INCF Community. This will include an overview of TrainingSpace, Neurostars, and KnowledgeSpace.

The course is an introduction to the field of electrophysiology standards, infrastructure, and initiatives. This lecture contains an overview of the China-Cuba-Canada neuroinformatics ecosystem for Quantitative Tomographic EEG Analysis (qEEGt).

Much like neuroinformatics, data science uses techniques from computational science to derive meaningful results from large complex datasets. In this session, we will explore the relationship between neuroinformatics and data science, by emphasizing a range of data science approaches and activities, ranging from the development and application of statistical methods, through the establishment of communities and platforms, and through the implementation of open-source software tools. Rather than rigid distinctions, in the data science of neuroinformatics, these activities and approaches intersect and interact in dynamic ways. Together with a panel of cutting-edge neuro-data-scientist speakers, we will explore these dynamics

This lecture covers the description and brief history of data science and its use in neuroinformatics.

This lecture covers self-supervision as it relates to neural data tasks and the Mine Your Own vieW (MYOW) approach.

The International Brain Initiative (IBI) is a consortium of the world’s major large-scale brain initiatives and other organizations with a vested interest in catalyzing and advancing neuroscience research through international collaboration and knowledge sharing. This session will introduce the IBI and the current efforts of the Data Standards and Sharing Working Group with a view to gain input from a wider neuroscience and neuroinformatics community

This lecture covers the IBI Data Standards and Sharing Working Group, including its history, aims, and projects.

This session will introduce the IBI and the current efforts of the Data Standards and Sharing Working Group with a view to gain input from a wider neuroscience and neuroinformatics community. This session covers the framework of the International Brain Lab (IBL) and the data architecture used for this project.

The FOSTER portal has produced a number of guides to help implement Open Science practices in daily workflows, including The Open Science Training Handbook.  It provides many basic definitions, concepts, and principles that are key components of open science, as well as general guidance for developing and implementing these practices in one's own research environments.

Topics include:

• Open Concepts and Principles
• Open Research Data and Materials
• Open Research Software and Open Source
• Reproducible Research and Data Analysis
• Open Access to Published Research Results
• Open Licensing and File Formats
• Collaborative Platforms
• Open Peer Review, Metrics and Evaluation
• Open Science Policies
• Citizen Science
• Open Educational Resources
• Open Advocacy
