[Event] The 1st NeuroJSON Open-Data Workshop/Hackathon (July 1-2) is open for registration

[fangq]

Click here to register for the inaugural NeuroJSON workshop/hackathon! We support both in-person and remote via zoom!

We are building a new generation of neuroimaging data sharing platform at NeuroJSON.io - that is designed to be easy-to-use, scalable to large datasets, searchable, and human-readable for long-term reusability. Our database already curated over 1000 high-quality BIDS-compatible imaging datasets with over 44000 subjects. You can instantly access tens of thousands of MRI/EEG scans directly using the REST-API provided by our NoSQL database, or search across all metadata within a fraction of a second.

We are eager to share with you all the awesome functionalities that we have developed under this NIH-funded U24 project.

On the first day (July 1) of the workshop, we will give you hands-on tutorials with topics covering

• using the web interface for browsing, searching, rendering neuroimaging datasets in your browser
• dynamically accessing/downloading imaging data files on-demand in MATLAB and Python
• efficiently reading/writing JSON-based scientific data formats
• using REST API to access NeuroJSON.io data archive for automation/streamlined data processing,
• converting your own free datasets to be disseminated via our NoSQL database platform

In our hackathon on the 2nd day (July 2), NeuroJSON developers will guide users step-by-step to perform one, or both of the following activities

• converting one of the public imaging datasets produced by your lab (associated with a paper or standalone) and uploading to NeuroJSON.io (must be the copyright owner or have the permission to do so, can be your own paper's data), or
• implementing functions in an open-source software/toolbox developed by your lab (or open-source software used in your domain) to support NeuroJSON data files or URL-based API to read data on NeuroJSON.io (we will provide hands-on tutorials and needed libraries)

we will be happy to host your public imaging datasets on our system and let more users to find them and reuse them (and cite them).
