CNS*2021 Workshop 10

Training Resources for Cross Initiative Data-driven Modeling Workflows


IBI Logo

Organizers: Training Task Force

Data Standards and Sharing Working Group of the International Brain Initiative

July 6, 2021 10:00AM to 1:30PM EDT

While many BRAIN Initiatives and other resources have publicly available training materials that are associated with the data and software platforms that they produce, the global neuroscience community lacks training resources and documentation about data and modeling workflows that span initiatives. We aim to fill in these gaps for one community – researchers building data-driven models of neurons and neuron circuit models. The goal of this workshop is to bring this community together to identify existing training materials and gaps that can be filled so that a coherent “course” on this topic can be assembled and shared at the INCF Training Space. Over time, additional workflows and resources can be added so that researchers can identify relevant data repositories and modeling resources efficiently and find the information that they need to use them.
