This is today! Please join the BIDS-standard Town Hall this morning at 10:30 AM EDT in Palais 512C #OHBM2023 to hear updates on the development of BIDS, and to provide and hear feedback about BIDS from the community. If you are not in Montreal, join us at crowdcast.io/e/osr-2023-emeโฆ


๐ขDeadline extended๐ข INCF Short Course: Introduction to #Neuroinformatics 2023 In coordination with University of Washington & the West Big Data Innovation Hub Oct 2-4 Seattle, WA, US Register by Aug 31: bit.ly/INCFcourse2023โฆ #neuroscience #OpenScience #OpenData


An incredibly fun and fruitful collaboration that started over zoom and email back in the midst of 2020 COVID lockdowns. Large publicly available datasets like DevelopingConnectome enable a plethora of analysis approaches, uncovering novel basic findings about human brain development.

1/N Dear BIDS-standard community, itโs time to nominate ๐and elect ๐ณ๏ธtwo new Steering Group members! The nomination period opened on September 5th and will close on Friday, September 22nd at 11:59pm (Anywhere on Earth; UTC-12). ๐Nominate yourself here: forms.gle/AHXwtoH4ibkpHJโฆ

Exciting news! ๐ PI eleftherios just secured a multi-million ๐ฐgrant with co-PIs Ariel Rokem, Jaroslaw Harezlak and Wei Tang to elevate #DIPY software with: โ New pre-processing techniques - expect surprises! โ Enhanced bundle analytics (tractometry, shape, connectivity) โ


Cool and encouraging work by Pearse Keane and colleagues (including University of Washington's own incredible Aaron Lee and members of his group!), demonstrating that domain-specific self-supervised learning can create a basis (foundation, if you will...) for a range of specific tasks in that domain

"Because we had this large dataset to work with, we could really chart how babiesโ brains change in the first few days and weeks of life." -- Ariel Rokem on how new software is changing our understanding of human brain development washington.edu/news/2023/09/2โฆ

Congrat to BIDS-standard, who are Main Prize winners of the The Neuro โ Irv and Helga Cooper Foundation #OpenScience Prizes! BIDS is a community-led standard for sharing #neuroimaging data. Help celebrate their achievement at this upcoming symposium! mcgill.ca/neuro/channelsโฆ


The #ebook for Data Science for Neuroimaging by Ariel Rokem & Tal Yarkoni is now available! Print editions of this authoritative resource will be published December 12: hubs.ly/Q026_Q6w0 #DataScience


Our new book is finally out! A hands-on exploration of data science for neuroimaging, based on our experience teaching Neurohackademy, with plenty of examples using Python software tools and open data.
