The goal of this project was to complete a task-based fMRI experiment from conception to manuscript in a 24 hour period. While we did not meet this goal (primarily limited by administrative issues that could be resolved with minor planning), at least in the form it was originally envisioned,...

Several fMRI studies reported activations in primary auditory and subcortical brain regions when comparing the processing of pleasant and unpleasant music excerpts. However, the potential temporal dynamics of music perception remain still elusive. We investigated whether there are...

Investigating the cerebellar anatomy and functional connectivity requires high-resolution information. We aim to develop a pipeline to generate cerebellar surface maps by using a high-resolution 7T cerebellum template and performing functional connectivity analysis with cerebellospecific...

SUMMARY: Pipeline implementation, execution and comparison for functional connectomics remains a key challenge for novice and expert investigators alike. In order to address this challenge, the INDI team has entered the first phase of development for the Configurable Pipeline for the Analysis...

Summary This project is rather content-related than highly methodical. However, it offers a problem that can be fully solved during Brainhack 2012, if it is solveable at all. And it can open up a prospect to similar problems and how they can be solved, of course. Over the last two years, we...

Developing functional imaging based markers of tissue type (GM, WM, CSF) has potential applications for assessing human brain function and/or image quality. This project aims to develop an R-fMRI based tissue classification procedure. It was started in our group almost two years ago, and...

The biggest problem facing functional imaging science today is the culture of functional imaging science. Data-hoarding continues to be a source of cultural capital. Younger researchers fear that by releasing data they risk incurring free-riders on their lab efforts. Despite the success of...

A Global Cooperative of Sharing, Investigation, & Discovery The Global Alzheimer’s Association Interactive Network (GAAIN) is a collaborative project that will provide researchers around the globe with access to a vast repository of Alzheimer’s disease research data and the...

With the emergence large fMRI datasets and advanced analysis methods, now is the time to explore the dynamics of connectivity. While there have been several proposals about how to this recently, they have not yet reached mainstream researchers (Jones 2012, Handwerker 2012). Additionally, there...

With the emergence of high-powered computing resources there has been substantial work in developing methods to understand the networks of the resting brain. However, work to understand the same networks during cognitive tasks has been lagging (Minati 2012). The goal of this project is to...

NeuroDebian provides a turnkey software platform for neuroscience that is created by integrating research tools with the Debian operating system. If you are using such software on Debian or its derivatives, such as Ubuntu, chances are that you are already using NeuroDebian. URL:...

Summary ——- https://github.com/jaseg/OpenMind-micro The OpenMind project aims to create easy-to-use high-quality open source EEG boards which may e.g. be used in conjunction with an Arduino to build a OpenSource EEG. We use integrated analog frontends with 24 bit precision for data...

Summary: With the emergence of large fMRI databases, there is a need for tools for high-throughput quality control. Although a few tools (such as mit-art) exist to detect outliers in fMRI databases, most standard packages propose no solution besides the visual inspection of individual results....

Since a picture says more than a thousand words, researchers strive to bring their A-game when it comes to making pictures, graphs, renderings etc. in the process of disseminating their scientific results. At brainhack we would like to launch a project that aims to take rendering imaging...

The Neuroscience Information Framework is a dynamic inventory of Web-based neuroscience resources: data, materials, and tools accessible via any computer connected to the Internet. An initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, NIF advances neuroscience research by enabling...

Summary This project aims to create an online repository of slides and figures for presenting both introductory and advanced materials related to resting-state fMRI and connectivity methodologies. In addition, we aim to create a set of teaching materials and ‘courses’ for learning...

Quite often when I advocate for data sharing I am missing good examples of scientific work that would not be possible or would be much more expensive if data would not be shared. Therefore I thought it would beneficial for our cause to have a little database of papers that are using publicly...

INDI or the International Neuroimaging Datasharing Initiative is dedicated to accelerating our understanding of the brain’s functional architecture through the implementation of open data-sharing and discovery-based science. Extending the original 1000 Functional Connectomes project,...

This is a stackoverflow-like exchange for neuroinformatics at area 51. This resource provides a quantitative way to assess the importance of questions and their answers, inspired by mathoverflow.net   What can I do ? Read and score the questions & answers and follow the list. You...
