Project Description

• What are you doing, for whom, and why? Neurodesk provides a containerised data analysis environment to facilitate reproducible analysis of neuroimaging data. Analysis pipelines for neuroimaging data typically rely on specific versions of packages and software, and are dependent on their native operating system. These dependencies mean that a working analysis pipeline may fail or produce different results on a new computer, or even on the same computer after a software update.

• What makes your project special and exciting? Neurodesk provides a platform in which anyone, anywhere, using any computer can reproduce your original research findings given the original data and analysis code.

Goals for Brainhack Global

• make container contribution ALOT easier (ideas: interactive container building on the neurodesk play platform itself - no install required; generating docker recipes based on the interactive install steps recorded)
• running Neurodesk on ARM and Apple M1/2 chips
• Develop Notebook experience of Neurodesk: the unerlying jupyter instance could be used to develop pipelines directly in jupyter without requiring the full desktop experience: https://play-sydney.neurodesk.org/v2/gh/neurodesk/jupyter-neurodesktop-image/main - for this we would like to develop a better user experience and example notebooks
