Computational neuroscience is a subfield of neuroscience that develops models to integrate complex experimental data in order
to understand brain function. To constrain and test computational models, researchers need access to a wide variety of experimental
data. Much of those data are not readily accessible because neuroscientists fall into separate communities that study the
brain at different levels and have not been motivated to provide data to researchers outside their community. To foster sharing
of neuroscience data, a workshop was held in 2007, bringing together experimental and theoretical neuroscientists, computer
scientists, legal experts and governmental observers. Computational neuroscience was recommended as an ideal field for focusing
data sharing, and specific methods, strategies and policies were suggested for achieving it. A new funding area in the NSF/NIH
Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (CRCNS) program has been established to support data sharing, guided
in part by the workshop recommendations. The new funding area is dedicated to the dissemination of high quality data sets
with maximum scientific value for computational neuroscience. The first round of the CRCNS data sharing program supports the
preparation of data sets which will be publicly available in 2008. These include electrophysiology and behavioral (eye movement)
data described towards the end of this article. |
