NEUROINFORMATICS 2021

HOW We’re participating in INCF’s Neuroinformatics 2021

By Kelly Shen

This week marks the start of INCF Assembly , a neuroinformatics meeting dedicated to FAIR principles in neuroscience. We are excited to be a part of this meeting and share with you the ways in which FAIR is being implemented in our work.

First up, I’ll be giving a talk on FAIR approaches to personalized models in TheVirtualBrain as part of the “FAIR approaches for computational neuroscience” session on Tuesday April 20th (11:00-12:30 EDT). I’ll be covering some of the challenges to FAIR principles that we have faced, and some that we continue to face, when working with large publicly-available neuroimaging datasets of aging and neurodegeneration.


One of those challenges has been in the processing of multimodal neuroimaging data from a large number of individuals across multiple sites and multiple studies. Noah Frazier-Logue will be presenting a poster on our automated pipeline for processing multimodal MRI data for large-scale modelling. Its BIDS-compatible parcellated outputs interface directly with TheVirtualBrain. Other features include support for various publicly-available datasets and detailed QC reports.


Sarah Faber will be presenting a poster on her work on individual differences in spatiotemporal dynamics. She will discuss the methodological challenges she’s faced in aligning different timescales and spatial configurations in a high-dimensional task-EEG dataset.


The poster sessions are

Tuesday April 20th at 2:30pm EDT

Wednesday April 21st at 8:0pm EDT

Looking forward to seeing you all!
