NYU Neuroinformatics Training ‘FAIR Thee Well’
The language and tools for sharing neurophysiological data
As neuroscience becomes an increasingly collaborative discipline, use of a common language to describe data is essential for collaboration, open science, reproducibility, and the access of scientific data in the broader community. The NIH has also created new requirements for data sharing to accelerate scientific discovery and expedite translation of results into knowledge, products, and procedures to improve human health. This symposium will discuss challenges, solutions, and provide an overview of the tools and languages that make data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR).

3:10 PM to 4:00 PM- Where do we go from here? A moderated discussion with speakers and Dr. Alyssa Picchini-Schaffer
Tuesday, August 10, 12-4 PM EST
The best way to put these ideas and tools into practice is to use them. Experts from Datajoint and NWB introduce their platforms with a hands-on workshop.
