About This Event

Co-hosted by the OpenScope Program, DANDI Archive, Neurodata Without Borders (NWB), and The Kavli Foundation.

We invite you to attend the Open Neurodata Showcase on Wednesday, September 28, 9am-1:30pm PT. The goal of the event is to promote secondary analysis of open neurophysiology data in NWB and on DANDI. This is a virtual event and is open to anyone.

The day will begin with introductory talks about the Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) data standard, the DANDI archive, and the OpenScope program. The second half will include a roundtable discussion on data reuse, followed by a series of data blitz presentations and a virtual poster session. During the data blitz, invited speakers will present high-value datasets they have contributed to the DANDI archive. Finally, we will hold a virtual poster session on Gather for open discussion between data contributors and attendees.

We welcome anyone interested in existing neurophysiology data, including but not limited to:

  • Neuroscience graduate students, post-docs, and other researchers interested in using open data in their research

  • Educators who want to use real datasets in their lessons

  • Undergraduates and high school students interested in learning about neuroscience

  • Open science advocates

Anyone is welcome to attend the Virtual Data Showcase. NeuroDataReHack hackathon attendees are expected to participate.

Wednesday, September 28, 2022

Registered attendees will receive instructions to join the event online.
