Description

Neuroscience is engaging at the forefront of science by dissolving disciplinary boundaries and promoting transdisciplinary research. This is a process that, in principle, can facilitate discovery by convergent efforts from theoretical, experimental and cognitive neuroscience, as well as computer science and engineering. To assure the success of this process the current lack of established mechanisms to guarantee reproducibility of scientific results must be overcome. Promoting open software and data sharing has become paramount to address reproducibility. This project addresses challenges to neuroscience reproducibility by providing integrative mechanisms for publishing data, and algorithms while embedding them with compute resources to impact multiple scientific communities.
