Objective
The DANDI Archive now has 300+ neurophysiology datasets in the Neurodata Without Borders format spanning many species, brain areas, task types, and imaging modalities. These include datasets from Allen Institute OpenScope, the MICrONS project, and the International Brain Laboratory Brain Wide Map, as well as diverse contributions from neuroscience labs around the world.
The Open Neurodata and Tools Showcase is a free virtual event in Gather where attendees can meet data contributors and tool developers, explore publicly available neurophysiology datasets in DANDI, and discover open-source tools integrated with the NWB ecosystem. This event provides an opportunity to connect with both dataset creators and tool developers to discuss their work, including open research questions and potential applications.
Eligibility
This virtual event is open to anyone interested in neurophysiology data and tools, including but not limited to:
- Neuroscience graduate students, post-docs, and other researchers interested in using open data and open-source tools in their research
- Educators who want to use real datasets in their lessons
- Undergraduates and high school students interested in learning about neuroscience software and data
- Open science advocates
Registration
