Presented By: Biomedical Engineering
Toward an open science ecosystem for neuroimaging
Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series - Russell Poldrack
Abstract:
It is now widely accepted that openness and transparency are keys to improving the reproducibility of scientific research, but many challenges remain to adoption of these practices. I will discuss the growth of an ecosystem for open science within the field of neuroimaging, focusing on platforms for open data sharing and open source tools for reproducible data analysis. I will also discuss the role of the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), a community standard for data organization, in enabling this open science ecosystem, and will outline the scientific impacts of these resources.
Bio:
Russell A. Poldrack is the Albert Ray Lang Professor in the Department of Psychology, and Director of the Stanford Center for Open and Reproducible Science. His research uses neuroimaging to understand the brain systems underlying decision making and executive function. His lab is also engaged in the development of neuroinformatics tools to help improve the reproducibility and transparency of neuroscience, including the Openneuro.org and Neurovault.org data sharing projects and the Cognitive Atlas ontology.
