CRCNS data sharing: Central facility and services

摘要：该奖项支持计算神经科学数据共享的服务和基础设施，作为旨在促进计算神经科学及相关领域快速创新进展的探索性活动的一部分。核心设施将以扩展到大型数据集的方式提供对共享资源的透明访问。服务的设计将减轻贡献者提供其数据或其他资源的负担，并优化用户社区识别和使用这些资源的能力。将建立面向社区和面向市场的机制，以确定对该领域特别重要的资源，并征求有关社区的反馈。预计高质量数据的可用性将为新类型的发现、新方法的发展和新的跨学科合作的发展提供前所未有的机会。这项新活动还将通过在建模者、实验人员和学生之间交换数据集、刺激、分析和建模工具，协助和推动计算神经科学的教学。

Proposal No: 0749049 PI: Friedrich T. SommerAward Abstract:This award supports services and infrastructure for sharing of computational neuroscience data as part of an exploratory activity aimed at catalyzing rapid and innovative advances in computational neuroscience and related fields. The core facility will provide transparent access to shared resources in a manner that scales up to large data sets. Services will be designed to lessen the burden on contributors to make their data or other resources available and to optimize the ability of the user community to identify and use those resources. Community- and market-oriented mechanisms will be developed to identify resources of particular significance for the field, and to solicit feedback from relevant communities. It is anticipated that the availability of high quality data will offer unprecedented opportunities for new types of discoveries, development of new methods, and development of new interdisciplinary collaborations. This new activity will also assist and drive teaching in computational neuroscience, through the exchange of datasets, stimuli, and analysis and modeling tools among modelers, experimentalists, and students.
