“The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has awarded $4.6 million to the University of California San Diego to build IT infrastructure and tools to add human neuroelectromagnetic brain imaging to the Neuroelectromagnetic Data Archive and Tools Resource (NEMAR).”
“The NEMAR project is part of the public-private BRAIN initiative funded by the National Institutes of Health.”
“NEMAR will serve as a portal or gateway to the OpenNeuro data archive, which is an open platform for scientists to upload and share neuroimaging data. The data It will be added to the OpenNeuro archive after NEMAR software evaluates the data quality and the completeness of its documentation. Datasets can then be analyzed by other researchers who log in…”
“Using the Brain Imaging Data Standard and Hierarchical Event Descriptor standards, datasets uploaded through the portal will be formatted uniformly. This will enable scientists to apply new statistical machine-learning methods to uncover hidden patterns that can only be discovered by looking through big quantities of data, resulting in fresh insights into fundamental and clinical brain research…” Read the full article here.
