brainverse

Brainverse is an open-source, cross-platform desktop application to enable researchers add to reproducible practices into every project.

• An electronic laboratory notebook built as a cross platform desktop application also has feature to be deployed as web application
• Enables users to plan experiments, collect, analyze and reuse data, and collaborate
• Adds semantic annotation to data with relevant metadata based on NeuroImaging data Model (NIDM) making experimental neuroimaging study more reproducible, and making data FAIR
• Intercept the research workflow at planning stage, curating (raw, processed, results) data at the source and helping users to annotate every step of the process.
