Accelerating Discovery in Neuroscience By Developing User-Friendly, Sustainable Software and Integrating Data Science Frameworks - PROJECT SUMMARY Modern neuroscience research generates massive amounts of complex data from brain recordings, behavioral experiments, and other measurements, but scientists often struggle to share, access, and reuse this valuable data due to incompatible formats and technical barriers. This project will develop robust research data infrastructure, including user-friendly software tools and interoperable data standards, that make it easier for neuroscience researchers to store, share, and analyze their data. At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, researchers will enhance NWB GUIDE, an intuitive application for converting neuroscience and behavioral data to a common standard and publish it to the archive without writing any code. The team will also develop data interoperability solutions bridging neuroscience and behavioral data formats using the LinkML data modeling library. Additionally, the project will standardize the storage of AI/ML models and their input and output data to improve their reproducibility. Finally, the project will generate introductory notebooks for using standardized published data and AI/ML models to lower barriers to adoption of these resources. This project will make brain and behavioral data more accessible and useful to the broader biomedical research community, ultimately advancing our understanding of the brain and accelerating the development of treatments for neurological disorders.
