We would like to announce a major new version of the Open Source
Brain platform (v2.0) we have been working on which has a range of
new features for you to try: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://v2.opensourcebrain.org">https://v2.opensourcebrain.org</a>.
<br>
<br>
You can create cloud based, persistent workspaces which contain
models and data from a number of sources (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://v2.opensourcebrain.org/repositories">https://v2.opensourcebrain.org/repositories</a>)
including:<br>
<br>
- All <b>OSBv1</b> projects incorporating NeuroML and PyNN models<br>
- All <b>ModelDB</b> entries<br>
- All <b>BRAIN Initiative DANDI Archive</b> datasets containing
NWB files<br>
<br>
Inbuilt applications which can open these workspaces include:<br>
<br>
<b>- NetPyNE UI</b>, a 3D graphical application for neuronal
simulations (NeuroML compliant)<br>
<b>- NWB Explorer</b> for opening and visualising data in NWB
files<br>
<b>- JupyterLab</b>, a full interactive Python environment, with a
number of computational neuroscience, data analysis and machine
learning packages preinstalled.<br>
<br>
Full documentation is at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.opensourcebrain.org">https://docs.opensourcebrain.org</a>
and a Guided Tour introducing the main features of the platform is
<a href="https://docs.opensourcebrain.org/OSBv2/Guided_tour.html">here</a>.
We are very keen for new users to try out our platform. Please
note that you will require a different username/password for OSBv2
from OSBv1. We are also very happy to make dedicated resources
available on the platform to support
classes/tutorials/computational neuroscience schools.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Open Source Brain Initiative aims to:<br>
<br>
- Make neuroscience experimental data and computational models
from around the world easily findable in a single location</p>
<p> - Provide a free to use, collaborative, web based, interactive
computing platform that integrates state of the art software tools
for accessing and working with large scale data sets and
computational models. <br>
<br>
- Encourage the use of standards for making research outputs more
FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable): OSBv2
supports NeuroML for models and NWB for data.<br>
<br>
Please get in contact if you would like to help us with any of
these goals!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
The OSB Team<br>
