Neuroinformatics

Due to large data sizes, it is typically not feasible to use our 3D models, brain atlases, and data features offline on a conventional computer. Instead, cloud technologies for remote visualization, annotation and chunkwise access to image data are required. To this end, we develop software and metadata standards for working with neuroscience data and brain atlases over the web. As a partner of the Human Brain Project (HBP), we have developed an interactive 3D viewer and other web services as part of the open research infrastructure openMINDS - a comprehensive metadata standard for neuroscience data that forms the backbone of the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph. By hosting a team of data curators, we provide practical support for the community in integrating and sharing their data in EBRAINS according to the FAIR principles.
