A neuroscience collaboratory that supports open neuroscience, which basically encompasses the unrestricted sharing of: analytic tools, computational resources, data, and knowledge. Its goal is to establish a spirit and forum for open neuroscience, and to facilitate the translation of that ethos into action by conducting successful large open interdisciplinary collaborative efforts such as releasing the preprocessed version of the ADHD-200 competition dataset. The Brain-Art Competition is likewise an effort to bring attention to the more aesthetically-oriented aspects of their field, and to publicize and encourage creative developments taking place at the nexus of art and neuroimaging.

EPI-images of 25 participants gathered during rest as well as anonymized anatomical images of the same participants. The resting-state fMRI images were collected on several occasions: # the first resting-state scan in a scan session # 5-11 months after the first resting-state scan # about 30 (< 45) minutes after 2. Each scan occasion is released as a new version release of the resource. ---Caution: Participants here are part of the NewYork_a contribution to the 1000 Functional Connectomes Project.

A collection of software plug-ins developed for the automatic segmentation of magnetic resonance brain images. The tools include multiple published algorithms developed at Johns Hopkins University. The SPECTRE algorithm performs brain extraction. The TOADS algorithm generates a topology-preserving tissue classification into cortical, subcortical, and cerebellar structures. The CRUISE algorithm produces inner, central, and outer cortical surfaces suitable for computing thickness and other geometric measures. Tools are also included for performing gyral labeling, lesion segmentation, thickness computation, surface visualization, and surface file conversion. All tools are released as plug-ins for the MIPAV software package and were developed using the Java Image Science Toolkit (both available at NITRC: http://nitrc.org). They are therefore cross-platform and compatible with a wide variety of file formats.

A software tool for post-processing diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) datasets. DKE consists of a suite of command-line programs along with a graphical user interface (GUI). DKE is currently supported on 32- and 64-bit Windows platforms. Given a set of diffusion-weighted images acquired following a valid DKI protocol, DKE generates a set of kurtosis (axial, mean, radial) parametric maps. DKE also generates diffusivity (axial, mean, radial) and fractional anisotropy maps using both DKI and diffusion tensor imaging signal models. DKE features include: DICOM and NIfTI format support, interactive (GUI) as well as batch mode (command-line) processing, and rigid-body motion correction. DKE implements the methods described in the following paper: Tabesh A, Jensen JH, Ardekani BA, and Helpern JA. Estimation of tensors and tensor-derived measures in diffusional kurtosis imaging. Mag Reson Med. 2011 Mar;65(3):823-36. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21337412

The GEneral NEural SImulation System (GENESIS) started as a very advanced software package in the late eighties, for biologically accurate neuronal modeling. Besides being used as a neuronal simulator, it was also applied to various domains outside computational neuroscience. The Neurospaces project is a departure from the monolithic software system design of the original GENESIS system. It is a development center for software components of computational neuroscience simulators. There are many advantages of developing independent software components: - Interfacing to an individual component is obviously more simple than interfacing to a do-all monolithic system. The compartmental solver developed for the Neurospaces project can be connected to Matlab fi. - It simplifies the individual components and encourages other developers to get involved. - It allows for separate testing of the components. More than 1000 use case tests been defined for these software components, including integration tests. - Integrating different component, gives different flavours of the same simulator, and enhances the user experienced consistency when doing multilevel simulations. - A component based software system avoids vendor-lockin. Its life-cycle is more smooth than that of a monolithic system, because software components can be upgraded one at a time. The Neurospaces project embodies many software components that all have been developed in full isolation. The core of the most important components is finished. The current development focus has shifted from component integration to the support of specific use case with an emphasis on single neuron modeling. This is a list of software components that have been developed or are under construction. Together, these tools give the core for the upcoming GENESIS 3 GUI. - GShell: a simple replacement for the Genesis 2 SLI. - Heccer: a fast compartmental solver, a backend. - Dash: a second compartmental solver faster than Heccer, for simpler models. - Neurospaces Model Container: provides a solver independent internal and external storage format for models. - Discrete event system: consists of a discrete event distributor and queuer. This is used for abstract modeling of an action potential traveling inside an axon as a ''discrete event''. - SSP: a flexible scheduler written in perl, to run simulations with the Neurospaces model container and Heccer. - The Neurospaces Studio: some tools for graphical browsing and command line usage. - The Genesis Script Language Interface: a scripting component that reads Genesis 2 scripts and feeds them to the Neurospaces model container. - The Geometry Library is a general purpose geometry library, with some essential geometrical operators, not commonly found in other geometrical libraries. - Using the Geometry Library, a Reconstruct Interface has been written. This interface supports the conversion of contours exported by the Reconstruct software to the Neurospaces declarative NDF format. - The Neurospaces project browser for browsing projects and inspecting simulation results. - The Installer package contains the Neurospaces installer and developer tools that have emerged from developing Neurospaces software components. - The Configurator package contains configuration utilities for the other tools. It is not needed for the other tools to work properly. Rather, it allows to set up model database and simulation servers in a convenient way. - There is also a Neurospaces blog and a wiki at googlecode for the Neurospaces project, with information for developers.
