This project will develop and operate a community infrastructure, CRCNS.ORG, to enable the sharing of data needed by the computational neuroscience community, to enhance and foster collaborations among theoretical and experimental researchers, and to further the development and testing of computational theories of brain function. This infrastructure will widen the spectrum of techniques applied to brain data, enabling discoveries that go beyond the scopes of individual laboratories.The infrastructure targets the communities of neuroscience and related fields such as computer science, physics, mathematics, statistics, and engineering in which investigators seek access to high-quality neurophysiology data, including electrical, magnetic, and optical recordings from single neurons, neural ensembles, and brain regions. Development activities are aimed at lowering the barriers to contributing, accessing, and using neurophysiology data. Standardized methods will be developed for storing and annotating data in a self-describing, hierarchical format, and enabling flexible on-line access. Scalable methods will be developed to enable users to find potentially useful data and to provide means for online visualization and some on-line analysis. Operations activities will support users and data contributors as well as community outreach activities. Three summer training courses will be held to introduce students and researchers to methods and conventions concerning organization, visualization, and analysis of neuroscience data, and how to use the specific resources of the repository.

该项目将开发和运营一个社区基础设施CRCNS.ORG，以实现计算神经科学社区所需的数据共享，加强和促进理论和实验研究人员之间的合作，并进一步发展和测试大脑功能的计算理论。这一基础设施将扩大应用于大脑数据的技术范围，使发现超越单个实验室的范围。该基础设施的目标是神经科学和相关领域的社区，如计算机科学，物理学，数学，统计学和工程学，研究人员寻求获得高质量的神经生理学数据，包括单个神经元的电，磁和光学记录，神经系统和大脑区域。开发活动旨在降低贡献、访问和使用神经生理学数据的障碍。 将制定标准化的方法，以自描述、分层格式存储和注释数据，并实现灵活的在线访问。将开发可扩展的方法，使用户能够找到可能有用的数据，并提供在线可视化和某些在线分析的手段。业务活动将支持用户和数据提供者以及社区外联活动。将举办三个夏季培训课程，向学生和研究人员介绍有关组织，可视化和神经科学数据分析的方法和惯例，以及如何使用存储库的特定资源。
