Aim
Neuroinformatics combines neuroscience and informatics research to develop and apply the advanced tools and approaches that are essential for major advances in understanding the structure and function of the brain.
Within this Special Interest Group, we aim to
- enable re-use of data and analysis tools in neuroscience, enabling reproducability of analyses, and
- enhance collaboration between neuroscientists and informaticians in all areas of neurally related endeavour.
