*NeuroDataShare 2023: Exploring and sharing multi-scale neuroscience data*

Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, London, UK

http://www.neurodatashare.org

Modern experimental neuroscience is producing huge amounts of data at a 
rapidly increasing pace, with population recordings using multielectrode 
arrays and imaging and simultaneous behavioural data together with 
transcriptomics and anatomical reconstructions. While these data are 
useful to those who obtain them in the original studies, their value is 
magnified when they are shared in accessible formats with the wider 
community for use in new studies, and to investigate brain function from 
different perspectives. To facilitate this, many groups are developing 
tools, standardised languages and databases to help specify, analyse, 
visualise and share such data sets.

*This meeting will bring together experimentalists, those offering 
infrastructure solutions for sharing data in neuroscience and those who 
wish to reuse, reanalyse and gain new insight into publicly available 
datasets.*

The meeting will consist of a *2 day workshop of scientific 
presentations <http://www.neurodatashare.org/programme.html> (Mon 20th & 
Tues 21st Feb 2023)* at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre 
<http://www.neurodatashare.org/directions> from leading neuroscientists 
who are generating data of different types across multiple scales, who 
are faced with issues of how to disseminate their output to other 
researchers. Scientific talks will be complemented by presentations from 
those developing the infrastructure to standardise and share data, and 
there will be discussions on the challenges and opportunities of greater 
data sharing in neuroscience.

The second part of the meeting will be a smaller, more focussed *2 day 
hackathon <http://www.neurodatashare.org/hackathon.html> (Wed 22nd & 
Thus 23rd Feb 2023)* where PhD students, postdocs and PIs will get hands 
on demonstrations to get their data into standardised formats, including 
Neurodata Without Borders <https://www.nwb.org/>, as well as help with 
sharing the data on the Open Source Brain platform 
<https://www.v2.opensourcebrain.org/>.

We look forward to welcoming you to London!

NeuroDataShare organisers Padraig Gleeson, Angus Silver and Isaac Bianco.
